Post From: Import SCID files into R

What I can do at the moment for importing into R is:

1) in SC, save intraday file in txt format, open in excel and resave as csv, or
2) in SC, save SC spreadsheet in text format, open in excel and resave as csv => useful to export data together with ACSIL generated signals.

Then in R import the csv with for example read.csv("C:/SierraExports/GC5min_jan2013-3+ycbv_full.csv").

It would very valuable to be able to get R to read from the SCID files directly, and even more valuable if it could read from the Sierra instance so as to be able to import the studies/signals as well. The latter would not possible, would it?

Thanks.


EDIT: Was not aware of "Write Bar Data to File" study (http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s182). That should do, at least for importing without the studies.

Yet I'm getting error message: "Study: Write Bar Data To File | Write Bar Data To File study: Error creating output data file". I followed the instructions here http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/helpdetails16.html as adviced in this post I have error: Study write bar data to file: error creating output data file Have full admin access of destination folder, and am running SC as admin. What can I do to fix this?
