can anyone tell me how to import a text file in R? the text file I want to import is a large file, about 800MB in size. Thanks in advance. I tried using the following data<-read.table("file",header=T,sep="\t")
Hi dhanush, If the problem is with read.table, maybe: # "whatlist" is a list of data types defining what # is in each line of data - see the help page data<-scan("file",skip=1,sep="\t",what=whatlist) will get it in for you.
