similar to: scan after seek in text files (PR#12640)

I noticed an issue where readChar does not return the correct value after a call to readline. It appears that readChar is not aware of the buffering, so it reads from the end of the buffer, rather than the current position in the file. This is a significant change of behavior from R-3.4.4. Below is a test case that I used to home in on the problem. --- p<-"test2.txt"

Tomas, Thank you for the explanation. I see in the documentation: "These functions are intended to be used with binary-mode connections." So I see how using it on a text connection is undefined, and not a bug. An error or warning when attempting to use a it on a text connection would be helpful considering how the behavior has changed in R-3.5. On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 3:09 AM, Tomas

Dear list, I am trying to find a fast solution to read moderately large (1 -- 10 million entries) text files containing only tab-delimited numeric values. My test file is the following, nr <- 1000 nc <- 5000 m <- matrix(round(rnorm(nr*nc),3),nr=nr) write.table(m, file = "a.txt", append=FALSE, row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE) scan() is faster than

Hi! I am currently testing a Samba4 Alpha13 server with Windows Vista SPK2 and I am not able to run logon scripts. I am able to use both profiles and map Home folders without any problems. I do not see any DOS window opening with the script running and I have tested running this as both a user and administrator by hand by just clicking on the script .bat file which runs just fine. Therefore,

Hello, I am trying to read in elements out of a very large binary file ... the total file is 4 gigs. I want to select rows out of the file, and the current procedure I run works but is prohibitively slow (takes more than a day to run and still won't complete). Is there any faster way to accomplish this? My current procedure looks like this: readHH <- function(file_name,

I'm trying to use LLVM on Windows for the first time. Keith Sheppard has published some F# bindings: https://github.com/keithshep/llvm-fs They require an LLVM-3.0.dll file. I'm not familiar with Windows but I think I've managed to build LLVM 3.0 using both VS2010 and Cygwin but neither build seems to have produced said file. The VS2010 build (made using CMake) seems to have made

So, having subscribed recently to the ruby-talk mailing list, I''ve noticed that wxruby doesn''t seem to have the "respect" of other GUI libraries. I know GUI-library preference is a holy war almost up there with vi versus emacs, but since I''m a wxruby developer, I''d like to know what people "don''t" like about wxruby. Otherwise,

The 'read.table' function appears to be up to 10X slower in R 1.4.0 than R 1.3.1 for some of the data sets I read in. I was comparing the source code for the 2 versions and see that it was rewritten in R 1.4.0. I think I found out what part of the problem might be. I was comparing R1.3.1 and R1.4.0 code and it appears that a statement is missing in some of the code for R 1.4. This is

Hello, All: I have a 4.54 GB file that I'm trying to read in chunks using "scan(..., skip=__)". It works as expected for small values of "skip" but goes into an infinite loop for "skip=1e11" and similar large values of skip: I cannot even interrupt it; I must kill R. Below please find sessionInfo() with a toy example. My real problem is a large

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

Dear R-users, When i try - Data1<-read.table("/Users/kama/Analysis/GDP10.csv",header=TRUE,sep=";") i am getting this error: Warning message: In scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : number of items read is not a multiple of the number of columns I wonder what Iam doing wrong. i guess it is something simple, however, i do not understand

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)
