I was wondering if it is possible read a specific part of a text file in R without importing whole file.
For example, I want to read a number where is located on the line 30 and columns between 2 and 4. Say the number is 456. can I see it without opening the file. I want to learn how to do this because I am doing many analyses which result in the same style output. I just need to read only one line in these outputs. Is there any specific function for this purpose? I googled it but did not find anything helpful. -- *Sedat * [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
