Read Stata 13 file in R

Question

Is there a way to read a Stata version 13 dataset file in R?

I have tried to do the following:

> library(foreign)
> data = read.dta("TEAdataSTATA.dta") 

However, I got an error:

Error in read.dta("TEAdataSTATA.dta") :
not a Stata version 5-12 .dta file

Could someone point out if there is a way to fix this?

Solution

I had the same problem. Tried read.dta13, read.dta but nothing worked. Then tried the easiest and least expected: MS Excel! It opened marvelously. I saved it as a .csv and used in R!!! Hope this helps!!!!
