'I need to read file .sav into R
I am trying to read a .sav file into R.
First of all, I tried using the package haven
library(haven)
read_sav("dataset.sav")
But I got the following warning:
Erro: Failed to parse C:/dataset.SAV: Invalid file, or file has unsupported features.
Secondly, I used the package foreign.
library("foreign")
data2 <- read.spss("dataset.sav")
But I got the following warning:
Error in read.spss("dataset.sav") : file 'dataset.sav' is not in any supported SPSS format
Could someone tell me how can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Carvalho

I had the same problem until I checked type of my .sav file in checkfiletype.com and I found out that my .sav file is actually an ASCII txt file. check out this page: https://www.pippanorris.com/data and download "Data in SPSS" file which is a .sav file. if you can read this file without any problem, surely the problem comes from your original .sav file.
