Hello: I've been reading all the replies, and I think I have some good ideas to work on.
Right now the code I programmed is running, It has been running in a batch process 20h now, and It has imported 1750 rows out of 2000. I will read docs for the bioconductor package, and I will check the gawk option, as well as I will try (time consuming I guess) to transform variables in text format to numbers, and other options I have just read. I appreciate all ideas and hints, I've programmed time-consuming quite complex programs but I've never programmed one just for a simple task as to read a file. Finally, unfortunately I work on a 32bit Windows XP machine, so neither Linux or 64bit Windows... :-) Thanks for your help, Jose Lozano ------------------------------------------ Jose E.
