Hello,
I'm trying to source() an SPlus 6.x file created using dump(...,
oldStyle=T) into R (version 2.01) as using the following instructions:
> *If you have access to S-PLUS, it is usually more reliable to |dump|
> the object(s) in S-PLUS and |source| the dumpfile in R. For S-PLUS 5.x
> and 6.x you may need to use |dump(..., oldStyle=T)|, and to read in
> very large objects it may be preferable to use the dumpfile as a batch
> script rather than use the |source| function.*
(from "R Data Import/Export," pg. 15)
An example:
> source("testdump")
Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 1895
where the data on line 1895 - and other lines causing this - have
embedded spaces, such as the following:
[line 1895] Johnson Partners LLC
I can't seem to find any options for either the SPlus dump, or R
source(), that relate to this problem. Any suggestions for how to
either dump or source files containing data with embedded spaces?
Thank You.
