Hello all, I would like to read the specific line number row of a direct access file (which is stored as a n_row*n_col matrix of elements kind=p) without reading all the preceding lines (i.e 1,2,..,row-1).
Is there a function in R that can perform this task? To solve my issue, I tried without to call Fortran from R by doing the following steps: I) I wrote a subroutine in fortran called read_binary.f90 ************************************ Subroutine read_binary (n_col,row,img) integer*1 :: im1(n_col) integer*1 :: im2(n_col) integer*1 :: im2(n_col) open(10,file=binary_file,access=direct,action=read,status='old',recl=n_col*p) if(p==1) then read(10,rec=row) img1 img=img1 else if(p==2) then read(10,rec=row) img2 img=img2 else read(10,rec=row) img3 img=img3 endif close(10) End subroutine read_binary ************************************ II) R CMD SHLIB read_binary.f90 III) dyn.load("read_libray.so") IV) Then in R, I tried many variant of the following function but I wasn't able to store the line number row into the vector img ************************************ img<-c(n_col) Read_binary<-function(n_samples,line,type) { as.integer(n_samples), as.intger(line), as.integer(typ), img=as.single(img) } ************************************ Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm a beginner in R and my guess is that I'm missing something into the above R function.
