Maybe 7.28 should be titled: How can I make read.table (and read.csv and read.fwf)) faster? But personally, I've never found it made much difference - even with a few hundred thousand rows, it takes longer for me to re-remember the colClasses syntax than load in the data. I'm not sure why I thought 7.23 should go. > Sampling bias might be an issue: we don't get questions (to r-help) > for those because those are in the FAQ.

It's a possibility, but it seems unlikely that after paging through 125 pages of material to read 7.23 and 7.28 people would stop before getting to 7.31 -- http://had.co.nz/ ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
