[R] Getting information encoded in a SAS, SPSS or Stata command file into R.

[Jan]

Hi,

If it is your objective to get your data in an ffdf, I suggest you look at
the SAS/SPSS/Stata code to see where each column is starting, next try out
the  LaF <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/LaF/index.html>   package
as it allows you to read in large fixed width format files and once you have
this up and running, you can use the laf_to_ffdf function at the  ffbase
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ffbase/index.html>   package which
works well with the LaF package and allows you import the flat file
immediately into an ffdf for further transactions.

hope that helps,
Jan
