Here is an example from the output of nonmem (Pharmacokinetic program) which could profit a lot from a fast reader. However, I was not successful in getting fread to do the job, probably because of ( in the header, which I cannot change.
You can download the data and program from http://www.menne-biomed.de/uni/freadBayes.zip library(data.table) # These files are MUCH larger normally, and one has to # skip the first line. Since fread does not have a skip # I have manually removed it from the sample ## This works (yes, sep="", don't know why) dcsv = read.table("BAYES.EXT",header=TRUE,sep="") # this seems to work, but gives wrong results. # Possibly the ( ) in the column names kill it d = fread("BAYES.EXT",sep=" ") -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Sample-fread-failure-tp4671753.html Sent from the datatable-help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ datatable-help mailing list [email protected] https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/datatable-help
