You could check out the ctv package that was recently announced. It uses XML so its source would provide an example. If its a one-time operation, Excel reads XML and you could then use one of the many Excel to R possibilities. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
