Dear Jan, thank you for your answer. I am basically following the code Ive been using with read.table, where x.class <- c('NULL', 'numeric','NULL','NULL','NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL') has been working fine.
Reading all columns works with me but take much longer than allowed time constrains.. (460 such sets+ time for processing). The number of columns remains 7 over the whole data set.
