Subject: [R] remove column

*Hi all,*



I'm trying to filter a file through the columns. This file below is a
example of my data frame. My true data frame has seven hundred thousand
columns and 500 hundred lines. I need to identify and to remove all columns
that all elements equal a number 1. In this my case, columns were deleted
are number 1,5 and 10.





file <-read.table(text="

1? 0? 2? 2? 1? 1? 5? 1? 1? 1

1? 0? 2? 2? 1? 1? 5? 1? 1? 1

1? 0? 2? 2? 1? 2? 5? 2? 2? 1

1? 0? 2? 2? 1 1? 5? 1? 1? 1

1? 0 2? 2?  1? 0? 5? 0? 2? 1

1? 0? 2 2?  1? 1? 5? 1? 0? 1

",sep="",header=FALSE)



the result after the filter will be



0? 2? 2? 1? 5? 1? 1

0? 2? 2? 1? 5? 1? 1

0? 2? 2? 2? 5? 2? 2

0? 2? 2? 1? 5? 1? 1

0? 2? 2? 0? 5? 0? 2

0? 2? 2? 1? 5? 1? 0



I used this commands idlength<-sapply(file,function(x) length(unique(x))
),

but came an error message:



caught segfault ***

address 0x4, cause 'memory not mapped'



*My question: is it possible to remove the all columns from above file
to *achieve* the desired result?*

* *

* **Thank you for help*
