Hi R people:
I have huge files with as many as 5000 columns. I'd really like to read
only certain columns of those files. I know column names I want to read.
I looked at the documentation of read.csv . Although there is a
col.names option, it allows users to specify the names of the columns,
rather than to pick the columns of interest.
Any suggestions on how to pick the columns I want to read only, rather
than the entire file, would be greatly appreciated.
