[BioC] Read big file!

[Steve Piccolo]

Hi Mohamed,

I have experienced this problem when trying to handle large files. My best solution has been to preprocess the data using Python or Java scripts and then do the final processing in R. But without more detail on your problem, it is hard to know exactly what to suggest (see the posting guide).

Also, your question would probably be better suited for the R mailing list than this one: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help

Dear R-Users

i would like to read a big file (1000 lines and 1200000 columns) with R? 
but this is impossible ! Does someone have a magic solution to my problem?

Otherwise I try a function to read by few columns this large file ( no 
by lines!)?

Regards
M
