Hi Folks! I have been writing a small set of utilities for dealing with files that are hard to open correctly for one reason or another, especially because they are too big for memory, non-rectangular, or contain odd characters or unexpected codings, or all of these things together. Today it suddenly hit me that this has probably been done, done better, and upgraded to package form a dozen times already. There were pointers to a couple functions useful in this regard in the Core Import/Export document. But my effort to come up with search terms that were productive of such packages was unsuccessful.
I would be grateful if someone would point me toward such a package or packages if they exist. Warmest regards, andrewH ______________________________________________ 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.
