[R] xmlToDataFrame#Help!!!

[Christian Ritter]

I'm struggling with interpreting XML files created by ADODB as 
data.frames and I'm looking for advice (see attached example file).

Note:
This file contains a result set which comes from a rectangular data array.
I've been trying to play with parameters to the xmlToDataFrame function 
in the XML package but I dont get it to extract the data frame.

This is what the result should look like:
      Name Sex Age Height Weight
1   Alfred   M  14   69.0  112.5
2    Alice   F  13   56.5   84.0
3  Barbara   F  13   65.3   98.0
4    Carol   F  14   62.8  102.5
5    Henry   M  14   63.5  102.5
6    James   M  12   57.3   83.0
7     Jane   F  12   59.8   84.5
8    Janet   F  15   62.5  112.5
9  Jeffrey   M  13   62.5   84.0
10    John   M  12   59.0   99.5
11   Joyce   F  11   51.3   50.5
12    Judy   F  14   64.3   90.0
13  Louise   F  12   56.3   77.0
14    Mary   F  15   66.5  112.0
15  Philip   M  16   72.0  150.0
16  Robert   M  12   64.8  128.0
17  Ronald   M  15   67.0  133.0
18  Thomas   M  11   57.5   85.0
19 William   M  15   66.5  112.0

Thanks in advance ...

P.S.:
In return, I'll continue developing a small package called R2sas2R with 
obvious meaning and I'll release it on CRAN as soon as I'm a bit 
further. (first tests under Windows using the StatconnDCOM connector and 
the rcom package are encouraging).
