Thanks. I wasn't aware that scan or read.table allowed you to read in a single line, process it, output results, and then read in the next line. This is what I need to do because the data set is too large to hold in RAM. I did manage to do this with readLines and overcome the space-delimiter issue. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/readLines-with-space-delimiter-tp2130255p2130434.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
