Gabor,
maybe some of my code is wrong (I don't know sql at all). I tried the
following with just a few lines as a test:
library(sqldf)
mydata<-read.csv.sql("myfile.txt",sep="|", sql = "select * from file 200, 100")
But it's just hanging. The same happened when I wrote:
mydata<-read.csv.sql("myfile.txt",sep="|", eol = "\n",sql = "select *
from file 200, 100")I am not sure if I should use eol. My file is a .txt file and the delimiter is "|". At the end of the line there is just the last entry, nothing else (at least not visible). Thank you for your help!
