One line at a time! That must have taken forever! Do you happen to know how many lines you could read in at once & still have enough room to work with?

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-tp2130255p21304 34.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
