Dear All, Perhaps one can help me with the obvious, however I have been trying to import a shapefile using function readOGR as in: myshp<-readOGR("mydirectorypath", "shapefilename"), and without any warning (e.g. can't allocate memory size or something trivial) R crashes en shuts down. The shapefile itself does not seem too large though ( 42mb the .shp alone). I wonder if anyone has encountered the same problem, or beter, the solution. For now, I have resorted to importing the .dbf of the shapefile (works fine), then converting it to some preferred spatial format. However, since now I am required to manually set the CRS this pretty much prevents me from applying batch analysis on a range of shapesfile differing in their CRS's. Note that the .prj are present, and would like to take advantage of readOGR's capability of recognizing the CRS of each shapefile.
Thanks in advance Caspar PS: BTW: Is there a function like ''readprj()'' around ?
