Hello, I have server logs with thorn ( รพ , or '\xc3\xbe' ) delimited files. They are quite large and I would prefer to open them with fread (I would like to use data.table to look at the data). However, fread says it does not support 2 byte delimiters. I can delimit with just '\xc3' [ a = fread(MY_FILE, sep='\xc3') ] , but all values in every column at the first ends up with the '\xbe' attached (i.e. the second byte of the thorn character).
Is there any work around to this? I have yet to find a way to open these files with R, though the is a stackoverflow answer saying it is possible.
