dear R experts: This is just a minor, minor nuisance, but I thought I would point it out:
> dataset <- read.table(file=pipe(cmdline), header =T, + na.strings=c("NaN", "C","I","M", "E"), sep=",", as.is=T, nrows=99999999); Error: cannot allocate vector of size 781249 Kb If I extend nrows by a few more 9's, the error goes away. Similarly, if I use much fewer observations, the error goes away. regards, /iaw ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
