I am using the example in this post:

# create a file
write.table(iris,"iris.csv",row.names=FALSE,sep=",",quote=FALSE)


# this does not work
# has the syntax changed or  is there a mistake in my usage?
# the line from the post above is:

You didn't read to the end of that thread. The two errors above were corrected.


library(sqldf)
read.csv.sql("iris.csv", sql = "select * from file 5, 5")

# this works
# but i would like to keep the header

read.csv.sql("iris.csv", sql = "select * from file limit
5",skip=5,header=FALSE)

# thanks
