Talk:R Programming/Importing and exporting data

Deleting ROpenOffice
I'm deleting mention of ROpenOffice, because (a) it is no longer available on CRAN, and (b) the link provided for it on 2018-01-29 says, "The site is carrying out technical work. In the near future, omegahat.org will again be available."

The fact that it is no longer available on CRAN indicates that it either
 * never was on CRAN, or
 * it was on CRAN, but some features stopped working with the current version of R, the maintainers failed to fix it, and no one else volunteered to take it over.

The fact that it's not available at the reference makes it difficult for someone wanting it to find it. DavidMCEddy (discuss • contribs) 20:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Or you may use 'ROpenOffice '.

no longer available in CRAN:

Deleting gnumeric
I'm deleting mention of gnumeric for ods, because when I tried it with R 3.4.3 under macOS 10.13.3, I got, "Required program 'ssconvert' not found."

The gnumeric package does a good job for ODS files.
