Hi All,

I am dealing with a large data set which translates in to a sparse matrix, I
want to load this data that is spread in approximately 17000+ files each
defining a row and each file has variable number of records that come with
its column number and the value that they store.

I wish to load this data in memory from these files one by one. Is there
anyway I can do this in R, before I start processing? I am sure this is not
the first time R or the community is confronted with this kind of a problem
but I could not find the documentation for loading data in to sparse matrix
I found quite a few packages  for sparse matrix but they all were
concentrating on how to do various operations with the matrix once the
matrix is loaded. I need to first load the data in the system before I can
think about analysing.

Regards,
Atul.
