Hi, I am looking for an efficient way of skipping big chunks of lines on a connection (not necessarily at the beginning of the file). One way is to use read lines, e.g. readLines(1e6), but a) this incurs the overhead of construction of the return char vector and b) has a (fairly remote) potential to blow up the memory. Another way would be to use scan(), e.g. scan(con, skip=1e6, nmax=0)

Hello R-User I have a table as tab-delimited textfile (291 rows, 83 columns). The first row are labels and the first line the variable names. I used the following code several times with different similar tables and it always worked. But now: setClass("of") setAs("character", "of", function(from) as.ordered(from)) Classe82<-cclasses <-

I've spent some time trying to wrap my head around reading in large csv files with the ff-package. I think I know how to do it, but am bumping into some problems. I've tried to recreate the issues as best as I can with a smaller example and maybe someone can help explain the problems. The following code just creates a csv file with an integer column, character column and logical column.

Hi R-experts I have many text files to read and combined them into one into R that are output from other programs. My textfile have unbalanced number of rows for example: ;this is example ; r help Var1 Var2 Var3 Var4 Var5 0 0.05 0.01 12 1 0.04 0.06 18 A 2 0.05 0.08 14 3 0.01 0.06

Dear all, I have a tab-delimited text (.txt) file which I'm trying to read into R. This file is of column format - there are in fact 3 columns and 259201 rows (including the column headers). I've been using the following commands, but receive an error each time which prevents the data from being read in: > Jan <- read.table("JanuaryAvBurntArea.txt", header=TRUE) Error in

Hola a todos, Me gustaria leer el texto que se encuentra en http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9601860/txt.txt He intentado txt <- 'http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9601860/txt.txt' r <- scan(txt) #Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : # invalid multibyte string at '<ff><fe>M' r <- read.table(txt, header = FALSE)

Dear R-users, I have encountered the following problem every now and then. But I was dealing with a very small dataset before, so it wasn't a problem (I just edited the dataset in Openoffice speadsheet). This time I have to deal with many large datasets containing commuting flow data. I appreciate if anyone could give me a hint or clue to get out of this problem. I have a .dat file

It seems to me the following should work (in fact, it comes from someone's SPlus file). Instead, it reads the first 8 lines and then spits out syntax errors. Using nlines=36 works. Using nmax does not. Intel RH5.2 with R90.0. Debugging shows it must be internal. Jim junk <- scan(file="",list(i=0,r1=0,r2=0,lull="",day=""),n=5*36) 1 3 5 no 1 2 1

Hola. Con r <- scan(txt, character(0)) creo que debiera montarse el texto carácter a carácter. He comprobado que funciona pero no he validado la importación del texto.

Dataframe1 contains a list of specific dates. Dataframe2 contains a large dataset, one element of which is Date. How do I create a subset of Dataframe2 that excludes the dates from Dataframe1? I know how to do it with a left outer join vs null in SQL, but I can't figure out how to do it more directly via the subcripts that already exist? Dateframe1 Date 1/1/2010 1/18/2010 Dataframe2 Date
