[R] reading in a Fortran binary array

Greetings -- I'd like to avoid converting a Fortran array of floats into ASCII and back reading it in R. Furthermore it's much faster to dump large arrays in binary, as they take up much less space with full precision -- many decimal points take up many bytes in ASCII versus four or eight

See ?readBin The format of a Fortran unformatted file is compiler- and OS-dependent, but if you know what it is, readBin() can read it. On Tue, 8 Apr 2008, Alexy Khrabrov wrote: Greetings -- I'd like to avoid converting a Fortran array of floats into ASCII and back reading it in R.
