[R] (simple) xml into data.frame and reverse

Hello, I am trying to convert a simple data.frame (it will always be a few equally long variables) into the XML format (which I don't understand too well but need as input for another program) and reverse the operation (from XML back into data.frame). I found some code which does the first and it

Hi Duncan, thanks for the advice and the link. I just realized there is a mistake in the code I posted and I currently don't have the time to correct it. So I can not try your function (yet). But I will do so in the next few days and tell you if it doesnt work. Thanks again and best, Stefan On Wed

[R] Reading a SpreadsheetML / XMLNS into R xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet

Hello, I use a software that outputs the data in a form/dialect(?) of xml (I think its called "SpreadsheetML", see below for an excerpt). It allows (admittedly) easy import of such files into Excel. I would like, however, to import it directly into R. I am familiar how to do that with standard xml-

[R] XML: Reading transition matrices into R

Hello, from a software I have the following output in xml (see below): It is a series of matrices, for each age one.

[R] strange (?) behavoir of expand.grid()

Hello, I came across a strange behavior of expand.grid (or at least strange to me). For certain values of one of my input variables - created by seq() - I have to use strings (e.g ==".6") to select a row of the object created by expand.grid(), for other values numerical (e.g. ==.8) and for some b

Dear All, a quick xtable question. I do have quite a bunch of tables in my latex document which I produce with xtable. That works fine so far. But I wonder is it possible set some values such as "environement", "caption.placement", or "size" globally so that it applies for table unless otherwise s
