Thank you Luiz Rodrigo Tozzi<br><br>I used size=8 for the character variables and size =4 for the real and integer variables. I didn't expect that. I thought the integers needed size=2 but that proved to be wrong. I found it easier than using Fortran :)<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 3/31/09, Luiz Rodrigo Tozzi <i><luizrodrigotozzi@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: Luiz Rodrigo Tozzi <luizrodrigotozzi@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: use R-Project to make station files<br>To: cdouvis@yahoo.com<br>Cc: GRADSUSR@list.cineca.it<br>Date: Tuesday, March 31, 2009, 4:53 PM<br><br><pre>Hi Kostas<br><br>I use R to read grads binary files using the function<br>readBin("binaryfile.bin",numeric(),size=4,nlon*nlat).
