[R-SIG-Mac] Scripting R

[Emiliano Guevara]

Hi!

maybe my reply will be too foolish... but I'll try anyway!

Can't you just use .CSV as an interface format between any spreadsheet
software and R?

That makes data sharing really very simple by using read.csv and
read.csv2 to get the data into R, and then write.csv and write.csv2
to save for the spreadsheet.

I imagine you can easily make an Applescript wrapper to make the
transition look a lot more like a GUI feature...
but then, why on earth would you need to use something like Excel
when you are already using R???

anyway, good luck!
