Re: [R] Loading large tar.gz XenaHub Data into R
Thank you both for your advice! The z <- readLines(gzcon(url("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz;)),
) command worked out nicely

Re: [R] Loading large tar.gz XenaHub Data into R
By the way, instead of saying only that there were warnings, it would be
nice to show some of them. E.g.,
> z <- readLines("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz
")
[ Hit control-C or Esc to interrupt, or wait a long time ]
There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
> warnings()
Warning messages:
1: In readLines("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz;)
:
line 1 appears to contain an embedded nul
2: In readLines("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz;)
:
line 4 appears to contain an embedded nul
3: In readLines("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz;)
:
line 7 appears to contain an embedded nul
Burt's guess looks right, as the following gives 10 long lines of
reasonable-looking data. Remove the 'n=10' to get all of it.
z <- readLines(gzcon(url("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz;)),
n=10)

Re: [R] Loading large tar.gz XenaHub Data into R
These are gzipped files, I assume. So see ?gzfile and associated info
for how to open a gzip connection and read from it. You may also
prefer to search (e.g. at rseek.org) on "read a gzipped file" or
similar for possible alternatives.
Of course, if they're not gzipped files, then ignore the above. If
they are, your current approach is hopeless.
Cheers,
Bert

[R] Loading large tar.gz XenaHub Data into R
Good evening,
I am attempting to load the following Xena dataset
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz
I am trying to unpack the dataset and read it into R as a table, but due to
the size of the file, I am having some trouble. The following are the
commands I have tried thus far.
HumanMethylation450 <- fread("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz
")
readLines("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz
")
###These two above attempts failed with warning messages
from R###
Methyl <-read.delim("
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz
")
##This attempt is still processing, but has been doing so
for quite some time##
Any ideas as to what else I could try?
Best,
Spencer
