Hi, I was wondering if someone could please direct me on how to choose the best format in order to save, open, and use data. I am currently using datasets that are in csv format. However, they are purely numeric and I think I should be to reduce their size substantially. Thank you for your time,

R can read and write .gz files. See gzfile(). Also, you can simply save R objects using save(). See the help for that function. Of course, there is the R import/export manual that could be helpful, as well. Sean
