Thank you all for reading my plea!

I simply need greater default object size when using scan() to read in large data files.

S+ (version 4.5 pro / Windows) complains: "Cannot allocate 5242880 bytes: options("object.size") is 5000000: see options help file"

Perhaps my cognitive functions are deficient ... but I cannot find a way to change the options(object.size) parameter.

# what is it set to now ?
> options('object.size')
[1] 6e+006

# will this work - in the manner of options(digits=3) ?
> options(object.size=7e+006)
[1] 6e+006                             # I guess not


Warmest regards,
