Hi, I am reading from many files DYNAMICALLY into a 2D matrix using row bind. I am not able to do with the code below. for(years in c(1:NUM_YEARS)) { for(weeks in seq(1,NUM_WEEKS,LAG_WEEKS)) { currentYear = BASE_YEAR + years; if(weeks < 9) fileName = sprintf("%d%s%d%s%d%s", currentYear, "/diffw0", (weeks+1), "y", currentYear, "+landmask") else fileName = sprintf("%d%s%d%s%d%s", currentYear, "/diffw", (weeks+1), "y", currentYear, "+landmask") #print(fileName) dataval = readBin(file(fileName, "rb"), double(), size=4,n=ROW*COL, endian="little") dataval = dataval[abs(dataval[]) < 100] dataval = dataval[abs(dataval[]) != 0] cData = rbind(dataval) dim(cData) } } I tried readBin and when it has 30000 values in it, when I read them sepeartely as dataval1, dataval2,.. and then do cData=rbind(dataval1, dataval2,....) It works perfectly!! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Reading-from-files-to-2D-matrix-tp3247581p3247581.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
