[R] Maximum number of pasted 'code' lines?

[bartjoosen]

Hello,

Writing 19000 lines of R-script in Excel sounds terrible.
Could you provide us some code (please NOT 19000 lines), and the way you
generate this with Excel,
maybe we can figure out a much shorter/faster way to accomplish the same
result?

Bart
