Hopefully there is a simple solution to this problem. I process really large
satellite images in R and, in order to not offend the memory-limitation
demi-gods, I open each row of the imagery one at a time, process it, write the
results, and then open the next line. I use readBin() to open each line. For
examaple, say I have the following file:
writeBin(1:20,con="desktop/temp.bip",size=2,endian="big")
which I can open using readBin():
readBin("desktop/temp.bip","integer",size=2,endian="big",n=20)
Now I want to open select values from the binary file, not a complete line.
Say I want to read values 3, 7, and 10, process them, write the result, and
then read values 4, 5, and 17. How do I direct readBin to those specific
values? Thanks.
