Dear UseRs, I have an update ready for the xlsReadWrite package. It runs my unit tests just fine but there are quite a lot of changes and it would be good if some other people could try it out before it will be submited to CRAN. I won't have more time this week, but I hope to publish xlsReadWrite at the end of next week and I will incorporate eventual bugreports and/or (minor) suggestions which I learn of.
The most important new features are + possibility to read/write dates/times + rownames for matrices + checknames (colnames) + better factor support + 'stringsAsFactors' and 'rownames' argument. I also added 4 general purpose datetime functions to convert excel dates from/to strings.

It doesn't matter normally but now I mention it, because this evening I got the brand new Delphi 2007 and xlsReadWrite was the thing used to try out this (very good) new version... -- Regards, Hans-Peter PS: @David: no more range_error violations. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
