Now I want to open select values from the binary file, not a complete line. Say I want to read values 3, 7, and 10, process them, write the result, and then read values 4, 5, and 17. How do I direct readBin to those specific values? Thanks.
You can use the 'readBinFragments' function in the 'R.utils' package. Also, if your file is an a 'standard' format, the 'raster' package may be of use: http://raster.r-forge.r-project.org/
