[R] How to subset an 'ff' object?

[arun]

Hi Christofer,
You can check ?subset.ff from library(ffbase)

subset(ffd,m1>1)
ffdf (all open) dim=c(2,5), dimorder=c(1,2) row.names=NULL
ffdf virtual mapping
   PhysicalName VirtualVmode PhysicalVmode  AsIs VirtualIsMatrix
m1          ffm      integer       integer FALSE           FALSE
m2          ffm      integer       integer FALSE           FALSE
m3          ffm      integer       integer FALSE           FALSE
m4          ffm      integer       integer FALSE           FALSE
v             v      integer       integer FALSE           FALSE
   PhysicalIsMatrix PhysicalElementNo PhysicalFirstCol PhysicalLastCol
m1             TRUE                 1                1               1
m2             TRUE                 1                2               2
m3             TRUE                 1                3               3
m4             TRUE                 1                4               4
v             FALSE                 2                1               1
   PhysicalIsOpen
m1           TRUE
m2           TRUE
m3           TRUE
m4           TRUE
v            TRUE
ffdf data
  m1 m2 m3 m4  v
1  2  5  8 11  2
2  3  6  9 12  3

Hi Arun,

I will look into why dput is giving error......... In the mean time I am attaching the csv file with this mail, however not sure if R-hep will accept it.

I tried to converting it data.frame. However as 'Dat' is of huge size (that is why I loaded it via ff route), converting the entire data to data.frame giving memory allocation problem.

Thanks and regards,
