I was wondering if it is possible read a specific part of a text file in R without importing whole file. For example, I want to read a number where is located on the line 30 and columns between 2 and 4. Say the number is 456. can I see it without opening the file. I want to learn how to do this because I am doing many analyses which result in the same style output. I just need to read only one line in these outputs. Is there any specific function for this purpose? I googled it but did not find anything helpful.
Googling for what? Googling on "R read lines" gives a lot. Look at ?readLines Berend
