Thank you. The readLines command is working fine and I am able to read 10^6 lines in one go and write them using the write.table command.
Does this readLines command using a block concept to optimize or goes line by line? Steve has mentioned about *nix and split commands. Would there be any speed benefit as compared to readLines? Thank you.
