Reading large data matrix in R
can you at least attach a sample of what your data file looks like. That is not that large of a file and it would depend on exactly how it is formatted. Is it a CSV, tab, space, semicolon, etc. separated file? What exactly have you tried and what were the results? A sample of the data would help to determine how you might want to read it.

Dear All, Greetings. I am a new user of R programming. I have a large ASCII data file with 14 columns and 45000 rows. I tried to load the file using read.table(), scan(), etc. functions, but failed to load the data file properly. Missing values in my data are denoted by "NaN". I also want to exclude these lines. I don't have a column header but I would like to include the labels in plotting. All the data is in floats. Can anyone give me some short examples to open my file? Look forward for your support, Thanking you in advance, Regards, Madhavan ?-----------------------------------------------?
