[R] How to read HUGE data sets?

[Ruben Roa Ureta]

To read in a few columns you can can also use something like,
reduced.data<-do.call("cbind",scan(file='location/name',what=list(NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,NULL,0,NULL,NULL,NULL),flush=TRUE))
where only columns 8 and 10 where saved in your object.
