All,

I have a 30 million record text file without header information. I would like to add a header to this file without reading it first. Is this possible? The code below does what I want except that the readLines portion takes quite a long time. Is there a way around reading the lines? I'm working on Windows XP.

Zev

input<-readLines("c:/junk/forR.csv")
input<-c(c('"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"'), input)
writeLines(input, "c:/junk/forRfix.csv")
