Opening Alteryx .yxdb files in R - r

Similar to the question below, I was wondering whether there is a way to open .yxdb files in R?
Open Alteryx .yxdb file in Python?

YXDB is Alteryx's own native format. I haven't seen or heard of anything else that can open it.
You could change your workflow to write to a CSV (or other compatible file) as well as writing to the YXDB file.

AFAIK there is no way yet for R to read yxdb files. I also export my Alteryx workflows to CSVs or use the R tool, read.Alteryx, and saveRDS to save it as a fast-loading binary file.

How to open mht file via R?

I met a problem to open mht files in R. There is an approach in which first I need to open it in Excel then save as .xlsx and after that read it in R.
But this way doesn't correspond to my requirements as soon as I need the program which must work automatically (no manual work needed).
But unfortunately I didn't found in the Internet how to do this.
Can someone advise me the way in which I can open file with mht format with some data in R?

Is there a way to read a CSV file from Google Drive directly into R without downloading the file locally?

I have been trying to use the package "googledrive" to read a csv file into R without having it downloaded locally. Is there a way to do this? The only function that seems applicable is drive_download(), which is not doing what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?
If you're not tied to using googledrive, you can use googlesheets::gs_read() to read it straight into R as a data frame.

Open .bin file in R

I have seen several questions about writing .bin (binary) files from R, but I am wondering what function or package R has that could read in .bin files?
Is R capable of reading in .bin files?
You need the hexView package, and you need to know a lot about the content of the files.
Dump the bytes using hexView::viewRaw(readRaw(filename)), then figure out the structure using what you know about the file. Then figure out what is in there, and use a more specific dump function like viewFormat. See the package documentation.
It's a lot of work, and requires a lot of knowledge specific to the creation of the file. You're unlikely to succeed, but that's how you should do it.

read .sas source code on osx without installing sas?

Plain and simple: is there a way to read (not run) .sas files on osx in order to rewrite old SAS programs in another language, e.g. R? Note I do not refer to reading sas data files – I know there are several ways, I am just interested in reading old SAS code.
.sas files containing SAS code should just be a text file. You can use any text editor that you like to open and modify these files. Since the system probably doesn't have .sas files associated with any particular program you can either use the "Open with" option when "right-clicking" on the file or you could open the editor first and then open the file from within the editor.
TextEdit will work. Another editor that I like is Komodo Edit.
