Hi, I've read up on readBin() and chapter 6 in the R Data Import/Export manual, but I still can't read a binary file. Here is how the creator of the file described the code that would be needed in Fortran:
You need to see what's in the file. The hexView package can dump it in various formats; see example(viewFormat) for a couple.
If you can't figure it out from the dump, post it here, and someone should be able to help.

"Every record has a return in fortran. The length of each record is nx*ny*4. To read you would use the following: nlayx = nx*ny*4 do iz=1,nz,4 read(binary file) var(1:nlayx) enddo nrest=mod(nx*ny*nz,nlayx) read(binary file) var(1:nrest)" The first value in the file should be 0.05, and all of the data values are real. Here is what I get (with similar answers using double):v<-readBin("plotb.251", numeric(), size=4, n=1) v[1] 1.614296e-39v<-readBin("plotb.251", numeric(), size=4, n=1, endian="swap") v[1] 1.359775e-38 Platform is Intel Linux. How can I read the file described above?
