How to open .jl file - julia

I want to open a .jl file and convert it to a readable file preferably in .xls format.
I do not have any any idea about Julia language.
Is there a file opener for jl files?

I came here with the same question, but since the file I was looking at was clearly JSON data, I did some more searching.
The .jl file extension also refers to JSON lines, sometimes instead a .jsonl extension.
More here: http://jsonlines.org/
You can search for .json to Excel to find a converter, e.g. https://json-csv.com/ (this worked fine on my JSON lines file).

A .jl file is a julia script.
It is source code.
Not data.
You can open it up in any text editor, e.g. notepad on windows.
However, it won't normally contain anything useful to you unless you want to edit that code.
(It might contain some array literals that you want, I guess)
Perhaps you mean to ask "How can I open a .jld file"?
Which is a julia HDF5 file.
In which case please ask another question.

As I see, Julia is a script language therefor the file can be opened in a text editor like Notepad++, Vim, etc. Do not use word processor (like LibreOffice Writer) if you want to modify it, but it's OK if you want to read only.

Simplest way to create Renviron.site file

In my opinion the simplest way to create .Renviron file is to use usethis::edit_r_environ().
Is there any analogous command which can create .Renviron.site file ? I couldn't find that command. Or maybe you can figure out some other simply way to create .Renviron.site file ? Only ones I found were very involved and unclear.
Thanks guys
These files are plain text files. You can create them with any text editor that can create .txt files.
So, if the file doesn't already exist:
Open a plain text editor (such as RStudio or Notepad),
create a new
file (and add the desired content),
save it, e.g., as
<R_HOME>/etc/Renviron.site.
The locations where R is searching for these files are described in help("Startup").

Output of saved .R files in r

I want to save my code in R. I did:
save(Data,file="Code_Data.R")
When I open the file in R again, the code looks like hieroglyphics.
How can I save the code in a way, that I can read the code in an editor or RStudio again?
save outputs a binary copy of the objects you tell it to save, not R code. Because you are naming this file with a ".R" extension, RStudio is blindly trying to open this binary file as R code, and you are seeing the results of that mess.
Technically, the R language doesn't care what the extension of the file is. As long as you know that the file contains, you can load it back in with the command load("Code_Data.R"). However, if you want to get RStudio to recognize that this is actually a file containing binary data and not R code, try saving the file with the canonical ".RData" extension:
save(Data, file="Code_Data.RData")
Using the ".RData" extension will also help you and other programmers who look at your code avoid this confusion in the future.

Importing the contents of a word document into R

I am new to R and have worked for a while as follows. I have the code writen in a word document, then I copy and paste the document with the code into R as to have the code run which works fine, however when the code is long (hundred pages) it takes a significant amount of time in R to start making the code run. This seems rather not a very effective working procedure and I am sure there are other forms to compile the R code.
On another hand one of then that comes to my mind is to import the content of word into R which I am unsure how to do. Have tried with read.table but it does not work, have look on internet as to how to import data, however most explanations are all for data tables etc or internet files in the form of data tables and similar. I have tried saving the document into csv. however word does not include csv have tried with Rich text format and XML package but again the instructions from the packages are for importing tables and similars. I am wondering if there is an effective way for R to import a word document as is in the word document.
Thank you
It's hard to say what the easiest solution would be, without examining the word document. Assuming it only contains code and nothing else, it should be pretty easy to convert it all to plain text from within Word. You can do that by going to File -> Save As, and use 'plain text' under 'Save as type'.
Then edit the filename extension to .R from .txt, download a proper text editor (I can recommend RStudio for R), and open your code in it. Then you will be able to run the code from inside the editor without using copy / paste.
No, read table won't do it.
Microsoft Word has its own format, which includes a lot of meta data over and above the text you enter into it. You'll need a reader/parser that understands the Word format.
A Java developer would use a library like Apache POI to read and parse it into word tokens and n-grams.
Look for Natural Language Processing tools, like this R module:

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.

Copying the contents of file to another

I am new to Auto It and I want to copy the contents of a file(any type) to another by creating a word document on the hard drive using Auto It script.
Could anyone help me please?
Note: I want to open a file, read the contents and write them to another file by creating it in any specified location as per my wish.
Please help me in this aspect
Thanks in adv
;$sourceFile="c:\source.file"
;$destFile="c:\dest.file"
; Open source file, file must exist
$sourceFile=FileOpenDialog("Source file", "c:\", "All(*.*)", 1)
If #error Then
MsgBox("No file choosen")
Exit
EndIf
; Open dest file
$destFile=FileOpenDialog("Destination file", "c:\", "All(*.*)")
If #error Then
MsgBox("No file choosen")
Exit
EndIf
$result=FileCopy($sourceFile, $destFile)
If ($result = 0) Then
MsgBox("copy failed")
EndIf
A file does not contain what you see on the screen if you open it. It does, but it's not a 1:1 copy.
Open any .docx or .zip file with a text editor (like notepad). You won't see your written text or files/folders in there, only things like "ÐÏࡱá". Unreadable to humans. The data in the file is different from what a program like Word or WinZip shows you is in a file. There are a couple of reasons for this.
A file needs to be easy for computers to read and edit (not humans). It is formatted in a certain way that makes it easy for a programmer to parse. (Parsing is how a computer reads a file -- but this is oversimplified.) The file as you see it after opening in a program is easy for humans to read and edit.
So reading from any file in the sense of this is not going to work:
Read out the file
Put the contents in clipboard (Ctrl+C idea)
Paste in Word (Ctrl+V idea)
because you're going to end up with a bunch of unreadable (to humans) nonsense. So then the question: How DO you do it?
You pick a number of formats you want to read out from: docx, doc, xls, pdf. Not simply "anything ever invented and ever will be". You find a converter for each of the formats, or even write one if you think you can do that, and a writer for your output format (docx).
In terms of a "simple project that can convert anything to docx"... You're screwed. It's complicated!
