I nearly forgot to thank Andy Liaw and Tony Plate for their help with this
problem. BTW Andy's method does run faster than the natural fix-up of my
original code.

You are using the connection the wrong way. You need to do something like:
fcon <- file("c:/data/perry/data.csv", open="r")
for (iline in 1:slines) {
isel <- isel + 1
cline <- readLines(fcon, n=1)
...
}
close(fcon)
BTW, here's how I'd do it (not tested!):
strvec <- rep("",slines)
se
You need to save the connection object returned by file() and then use that
object in other functions.
You need to change the appropriate lines to the following (at least):
con <- file("c:/data/perry/data.csv",open="r")
cline <- readLines(con,n=1)
close(con)
(I don't know if more changes are n
