An updated version 1.1.1 of xlsReadWrite has been submitted to cran. Currently the cran version is still 1.0, but you can download the updated version already here: http://treetron.googlepages.com.
xlsReadWrite is a package which allows you to natively read and write Excelfiles (windows only). Changes from xlsReadWrite 1.0.0 to 1.1.1 -> added colClasses argument ("rowname", "integer", "double", "factor", "character" and "NA" to determine type of data.frame column) -> "NA" values are no longer written into the Excelsheet. -> vector will be written as a column instead of a a row -> FIXED IMPORTANT BUG which could happen in rare cases in a RKRecord cell and led to numbers not divided by 100, e.g. wrong by this factor. (thanks to Eric Rexstad for reporting!) -> fixed bug with colNames: character vector in colNames didn't have an effect, I always used the Excel header row -> compiled with range checks enabled (this should have been done from the beginning; from now on programming errors surface properly as range check errors). -> minor changes in help text, README, testscripts improved... -> LAST BUT NOT LEAST: clarified license text by granting an explicit right to freely distribute and use this package incl. the dll. (my own source is still licensed as GPLv2 (same as before)). Removed R-copyright notices in my source (had been there as a kind of credit but can be misunderstood)). -- Regards, Hans-Peter ______________________________________________ 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.
