Hi Barry, "You could do a similar thing in R by opening a text connection to your file and reading one line at a time, writing the modified or selected lines to a new file."
Great! I'm aware of this existing, but don't know the commands for R. I have a variable [560,1] to use to pare down the incoming large data set (I'm sure of millions of rows). With other data sets they've been small enough where I've been able to use the merge function after data has been read in. Obviously I'm having trouble reading in this large data set in in the first place. Any additional help would be great! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Reading-in-9-6GB-DAT-File-OK-with-64-bit-R-tp4457220p4458074.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
