(Didn't type this with the intent of shouting but decided not to revise after fixing my sticky shift key.) THERE IS AN ENTIRE MANUAL ON EXPORT AND IMPORT STRATEGIES: On my machine the link to it "R Data Import/Export" appears if one uses the drop-down RHelp option from the Help menu: It links to http://127.0.0.1:29713/doc/manual/R-data.html But the details of where you should find it will depend on your GUI and OS setup. At any rate please find and read this fine manual. Your other question is also addressed in that manual. -- David. > Thanks very much! > > Cheers, > > Rebecca > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This message, and any attachments, is for the intended r...{{dropped:5}} > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org 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.
