[R] question about binary data file and data.frame

2006-02-07 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a binary file with data sequence in the order [age,weight][age,weight] I know the length of the data and I want to load it into a data.frame. of course a way to do this is to read age and weight seperately and then use cbin(age,weight) to combine them into a dataframe, but is

Each data (edge,weight) is numerical data with type double (4 bytes) df-file(d:/sim.data,rb) age[1]-readBin(df,double()) weigt[1]-readBin(df,double()) ... age[10]-readBin(df,double()) weigt[10]-readBin(df,double()) it is not asc file. === 2006-02-07 13:03:17 === [EMAIL
