Hello list, We like FREAD because it is very fast, yet sometimes files are huge and R cannot handle that much data, some packages handle this limitation but they do not provide a similar to fread function. Yet sometimes only subsets of a file is really needed, subsets that could fit into RAM.
So what about adding a grep option to fread that would allow to load only lines that matches a regular expression? I'll add a request if you think the idea is worth implementing. Cheers
