Hi, Well, how did you make that little 10 row sample for us? The same subsetting principles hold in R regardless of hugeness. I am kind of assuming you have a matrix or data frame class object, in which case, here is a little example for you:
## Big matrix dat <- matrix(1L, nrow = 134000, ncol = 4) ## somewhat smaller matrix dat2 <- dat[60000:90000, ] ## Show the objects' dimensions dim(dat) dim(dat2) ## show their size object.size(dat) object.size(dat2) ## For documentation see ?"[" Cheers, Josh On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 10:01 PM, kparamas <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a huge table with 134,000 entries.
