Dear Rxperts, Through Windows OS, I created shortcuts (paste as shortcut) to excel spreadsheets ( with "xlsx" as the file extension). I wasn't able to read the shortcuts through R and using "read" functions of "xlsx" package.
exf <- "a1.xlsx.lnk" > read.xlsx(exf,1) Error in .jcall("RJavaTools", "Ljava/lang/Object;", "invokeMethod", cl, : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Your InputStream was neither an OLE2 stream, nor an OOXML stream > read.xlsx2(exf,1) Error in .jcall("RJavaTools", "Ljava/lang/Object;", "invokeMethod", cl, : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Your InputStream was neither an OLE2 stream, nor an OOXML stream Would truly appreciate your suggestions.
