read.xlsx : would like to read in ALL sheets at once, or so..

[Marijan Holjevac]

As I see it, it is not possible to read in all sheets of an xlsx file at once, each being another data.fram .. ? // this question includes all possible variations one could imagine regarding more "flexibility"

How hard would it be to implement such a feature, myself ?

... Ahh ok, i just looked into the source code

getSheets <- function() does the work already, is that correct ? I get a list of all the sheets, so i could do it just the following way :

i add to the source code in the read.xlsx function the option "ALL", and in this case just return <sheets>, which was initialized by

the commands             wb <- loadWorkbook(file)

                                  sheets <- getSheets(wb)

that should work, wouldn't it ?

[don't wonder, i'm a "newbie" and have never tried modify open source software..]

Thx so much for your implementation of the package !
