readEViews: Read an Eviews File
In pmur002/hexview: Viewing Binary Files

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

This function reads a file in Eviews format (Eviews is an econometrics package).

1	readEViews(filename, time.stamp=TRUE, as.data.frame = TRUE)

`filename`	The name of the file.
`time.stamp`	A logical indicating whether to include a `Date` column in the result.
`as.data.frame`	If `TRUE` the result is a data frame; otherwise a list of variables is returned.

This function is just a demonstration of how the functions in this package can be used to read a complex binary format. It has been tested on a few sample files (and works), but there is no guarantee it will work for all Eviews files (this is not helped by the fact that it is based on reverse-engineering information about the Eviews format, NOT an official description of the format.

Either a data frame or a list of variables.
