readEViews {hexView} | R Documentation |
This function reads a file in Eviews format (Eviews is an econometrics package).
readEViews(filename, as.data.frame = TRUE)
filename |
The name of the file. |
as.data.frame |
If TRUE the result is a data frame;
otherwise a list of variables is returned. |
This function is just a demonstration of how the functions in this package can be used to read a complex binary format. It has been tested on a few sample files (and works), but there is no guarantee it will work for all Eviews files (this is not helped by the fact that it is based on reverse-engineering information about the Eviews format, NOT an official description of the format.
Either a data frame or a list of variables.
