[R] Call SAS from R
Hi All, I am new to post question on this list. I apologize if this question is too easy or irrelevant. I am doing a simulation study and I need to read a data file that can be easily read by SAS. So, what I try to do is to execute SAS in R and then read the output of SAS to R. I try the following code but it didn't work. system(c:\\program files\\sas institute\\v8\\sas.exe test) can anyone give me some help with this? Thanks.

Re: [R] Call SAS from R
perhaps it would be easier to read directly your datafile from R ? read.table(...) is your friend, and quite easy to use. type ?read.table under R. hih __ 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
Re: [R] Call SAS from R
Thanks for some kind responses from the list.
Maybe I should present my data here a little bit to explain why I want to
use SAS.
Below is part of my data set.
First, I need to skip the first 9 lines which I can use skip=9 to do this.
Second, I need to read to rows of data. the first row starts with M01 and
ends before M02. The second row starts with M02 to the end.
Thanks for all the helps. I will appreciate if someone can answer my
original question or help me read this data in R.

read.table(...) is your friend, and quite easy to use.
type ?read.table under R.

Sorry that does not work. The Windows way is to quote it: e.g.
system('c:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe')
works (note the two sets of quotes), and this is explained with an example
on the help page ?system, so please do as the posting guide asks and read
the documentation
