Please always "reply-all" so the list stays in the conversation. With the details presented below, this question is a perfect example of why you should keep the list in the conversation because I don't know how to solve your problem.

Also please read and follow the Posting Guide, which warns you not to post in HTML since what you see is not necessarily what we see in that format.

I do know that it is quite common for structured input routines that process data such as XML and JSON to look for a single "object" and convert it. Normally this is an "outermost layer" of structure that encompasses the entire contents of the file. In your case, the log file is an indefinite stream of objects. From what I can see this is not a standard use case for most JSON (or XML) libraries.

One solution discussed on StackOverflow [1] is to encode each object without internal newlines, and separate the objects by newlines. This would require that you have control over the software that was generating this stream of data.

hi jeff sorry for my late response

actually i am trying to parse this log file which i attached in my previous
mail.

 this log contains activity of students like
    how many times they login,
    which page they visit,
    which and how much video they watched,
    which quiz they attempted,
    did they give correct or wrong answer.
and similar other data and clicks.

 i want to extract these data of students from log file  and want to store
it in a table  (table is not necessary if work is done by R only ).
 then i want to perform some statistic on the data extracted from log file.

I am using jsonlite  to parse it and below is code which i used to parse it

library(jsonlite)
tracking_json  <-
fromJSON("/home/praveen/praveen/Cleaning_Data/tracking.log")
names(tracking_json)
tracking_json$username

this code prints only the first data and ignore everything else.

then i tried

path <- "/home/praveen/praveen/Cleaning_Data/tracking.log"
c <- file(path,"r")
l <- readLines(c,-1L)
json  <- lapply(X=l,fromJSON)
json[[1]]

it parse and store the data from log file to array
 i am able to print data with the  json[[1]]
but i don't know how to collect whole data related to one factor only
for example if i want to collect all the related to single student .

if there is any other way to do this or you have a document or link to parse
a log file.


and then i want to perform some statistic
i am new to R may be there is some mistake in my explanation.
