[R] Creating a cross table out of a large dataset

[celine]

Dear all,

I want to make a cross table out of a data set which is 2 columns wide and
more than 150000 rows long. When I use the table() function I get an error
message

This is the code I have used:

>Dataset <- read.table("test.txt", header=TRUE, sep=",", na.strings="NA",
dec=".", strip.white=TRUE) 

> .T <-table(Dataset$K1,Dataset$K2) 

This is the error message I have received

>Error in vector("integer", length) : vector size specified is too large 
>In addition: Warning messages: 
>1: NAs introduced by coercion 
>2: NAs introduced by coercion 

Is it possible to make a cross table with the table() function on a large
dataset or should I consider using another function? I have had a look at
the ?table help file but I could find any information on the size of the
dataset.

Thanks very much in advance for any help:-)

Kind regards,
Céline.
