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:
"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-39
> v<-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?
Thanks,
