So is each line just ACCGTATAT etc etc?
Exacty, A_G, A_A, G_G and the such.
If you have fixed width fields in a file, so that every line is the same length, then you can use random access methods to get to a particular value - just multiply the line length by the row number you
Nice hint! I didn?t think on this. But I fear that if I have missing values on the file I wont be able to read the right information...
When doing this, it's a good idea to test your dataset first to make sure the lines and fields are right.
Yes, I am trying to figure out if all the lines have the exact same lenght to use a random access method to read it. Thanks, Jose Lozano
