Read FWF, problem and solution?
Running R 1.6.1
Linux Slackware 8.1
233MHZ AMD-K6 96MB RAM
Using read.fwf, I tried to open a fixed-width file that of about 4 MB residing
in the working directory, using the command below:
dat<-read.fwf("sc01aai.dat", widths=fields$length)
where fields$lengths is a vector of column widths, 28 to be exact. The data
are a mix of character, text, and factor variables.
R started processing and continued doing so for more than an hour and a half
before I returned and stopped it. It was obviously still...
