Hi all I have a large SAS data set, how do I get it read in R? The data is too big (about 400,000 rows by 100 columns) to be saved as an Excel file. How should I get it read in R? Any packages? I don't seem to find any.
You could write it out in some plain delimited format, e.g. CSV or tab-delimited. Watch out for special characters in strings that confuse R when it reads it in (e.g. commas in unquoted CSV strings, quotes within strings, etc.) Duncan Murdoch
