I have to read in a file that is "!" delimited. Would it be correct to use the following syntax: Data<-read.delim(file.choose(),sep="!") Or would it be wrong? I am asking rather than trying it just because I have 3.5 million cases to read in. Thank you! Dimitri

I'd recommend setting nrows to a small number for a few tries first, until you get it right. Duncan Murdoch
