Hi all, My code:
x <- scan(gzfile("file"),what='integer') x is imported, but as mode "character" rather than "integer". I know I can do as.integer() when importing, but am still trying to figure out why the above occurs. When I do summary(as.integer(x)), there are no NAs introduced by coercion, so the vector really is all integer. Also, is the above code the fastest for importing a very long zipped data, with 132 million rows and 1 column? Thanks in advance, Matt -- Matthew C Keller Asst.
