Hi there,
I have a large/huge text file. I need to locate a line in the file with
a specific string, for example, "Data Points". Now, I use the following
code to do:
df <- readLines(file)
l <- grep("Data Points", df)
However, in this case, the file will be read throughout into R. When the
file is huge, it will cost much memory and time.
Is there any more elegant way to do that? Thanks.
Best,
Jinsong
