[R] Read dataset in R language

[Millo Giovanni]

Hello.
This is to get you started with data.frames, next time please 
- read the posting guide
- see the documentation, especially the builtin "R data import/export"
manual form the help menu

## begin R examples, paste into console ##
data(mtcars) # builtin database
class(mtcars) # what it is
mtcars # print it out...
head(mtcars) # ...better: see first rows
fm <- mpg~hp+wt
summary(lm(fm, data=mtcars)) # my favourite regression: see ?mtcars
save(mtcars, file="mtcars.rda") # save as R binary in current working
directory
load(file="mtcars.rda") # load from R binary file, get directly an R
object
write.table(mtcars, file="mtcars.txt") # write to text file (default is
space-delimited)
mtcars <- read.table(file="mtcars.txt") # read from text file and assign
to an R object

## see help for all these functions as 
?data
?read.table
## etc.
## end ##

Data import/export is the nastiest step in any stats program, hold on
;^) ...and start with small examples: your "new" message probably means
you don't have enough RAM (although from your post it is impossible to
really tell).

Hi all,

I tried many things to read any dataset but I receive different error
messages every time.
One new message is: vector size specified is too large

Can any one please send any part from any dataset just for testing a
regression system and to know where is the problem??

Many thanks,
Nancy
