Hi,
I'm using S+6.1 on NT4 and I am using importData to read in large tab
delimited text files. I have found that if one of my columns starts with the
value NA then that row is dropped. It appears to try to interpret that row
as column names. If the text file has column names then it reads in
perfectly. Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to read in headerless
text files without the first row being dropped?
While I'm on the subject, does anyone have views on what is the most
efficient method of reading in large text files.Typically I need to read in
several large text files which I then rbind in S+ but I have found problems
with memory doing this (admittedly this was with S+2000). Are there
advantages to read.table or openData?
Regards,
Glenn Treacy
