I have a long text file with uneven record length and variable structure.
Therefore I have to read it line-by-line.
I found out I can open a connection to the file and read in one line at a time.
Something like:
con <- file("MyFle.txt","r")
while (End-Of-File) {
line <- readLines(con,n=1)
ParseLine(line)
}
But I realized I do not know how to test for the End-Of-File condition using R
language.
I found a ghost documentation page mentioning an R built-in function
"isEof(connection)".
But such a function is not listed in R "utils" package it seems to belong to.
I would appreciate any comment and/or suggestion.
Thank you in advance.
