[R] beginner's problem in displaying large data

[Spencer Graves]

      1.  Did you try "dim(sample.data)"?  Is it actually 2200 by 15?  
Or are you reading in just some subset of the data?  If it is 2200 by 
15, could you also please do "class(sample.data)"? 

      2.  I just got a full listing from the following: 

      (tst <- data.frame(array(rnorm(2200), dim=c(2200, 15))))

      You might try this.  With R 2.0.0patched under Windows 2000, I got 
rows 1:2200 flying by 3 times, each with 5 columns. 

      3.  Have you considered doing plots (including qqnorm) of numeric 
variables and tables of character variables?  These can often reveal 
problems I might never see in a simple scan of numbers. 

      4.  "PLEASE do read the posting guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  At minimum, please tell 
us which version of R under which operating system, and specifically 
what you did to get it into R and how you know it's 2200 by 15. 

      hope this helps.
