[Gretl-devel] A way to read RData files in gretl

Dear All, During the recent times there were several threads on importing RData files into gretl The attachment contains a function to open RData files in gretl In contrast to the native foreign importers it requires R installed (not a strong requirement, at least on linux, since R is included into dependencies list for building gretl) creates somefile.csv from somefile.RData outputs the full path to somefile.csv as a string require installing 'csv' R package beforehand file_name = R_to_csv(/home/path/somefile.RData") # file_name = R_to_csv("Disk:/path/somefile.RData") # Windows open @file_name you can run 'eval file_name' before running 'open @file_name' It is OS-dependent Tested on Linux and Windows Not tested on Mac Hope this will be useful for some people Oleh
