Hi Hadley,
Hope this is what you are looking for. This approach provides number
of lines in a large 'bzip' file using chunks.
testconn <- file("xyzxyz.csv.bz2", open="r")
csize <- 10000
nolines <- 0
while((readnlines <- length(readLines(testconn,csize))) >0 ) nolines
<- nolines+readnlines
close(testconn)
nolines
Regards,
Indian_R_Analyst.
