I'm trying to read in a fairly large (3.5 Gb) csv file into R, using the
read.csv.ffdf() function from the ff package.
Whenever the function comes up to a numerical value (such as 40.0, or 2 -
doesn't mater if there is a decimal point or not), it throws the following
error:
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :
scan() expected 'a real', got '"15"'
I've tried reading in a very similar file, albeit much smaller, using the
basic read.csv() function, and it loads correctly. But if I try loading it
with read.csv.ffdf(), it throws the same error.
Any ideas? Thanks!
