I've written a little python script that converts ods and xls to csv,
and a wrapper in R that imports a sheet of the ods and/or xls into a
data.frame in R. If this is a FAQ and there is an existing solution, great.
Actually, for xls, the library gdata has a read.xls function that uses a
perl function underneath.

Hi,
i want to import data from .ods and .xls files in R on a linux system.
Seems it was a faq in the past, but i found only solutions for Windows.
Is there a handy solution for linux? The best would be something like
mytab <-read.ods(...)
Any hints? Thanks a lot for reading so far,
