vroom (version 1.0.1)

vroom_lines: Read lines from a file

Description

vroom_lines() is similar to readLines(), however it reads the lines lazily like vroom(), so operations like length(), head(), tail() and sample() can be done much more efficiently without reading all the data into R.

Usage

vroom_lines(file, n_max = Inf, skip = 0, altrep_opts = "chr",
  num_threads = vroom_threads(), progress = vroom_progress())

Arguments

file

path to a local file.

n_max

Maximum number of records to read.

skip

Number of lines to skip before reading data.

altrep_opts

Control which column types use Altrep representations, either a character vector of types, TRUE or FALSE. See vroom_altrep_opts() for for full details.

num_threads

Number of threads to use when reading and materializing vectors.

progress

Display a progress bar? By default it will only display in an interactive session and not while knitting a document. The display is updated every 50,000 values and will only display if estimated reading time is 5 seconds or more. The automatic progress bar can be disabled by setting option readr.show_progress to FALSE.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
lines <- vroom_lines(vroom_example("mtcars.csv"))

length(lines)
head(lines, n = 2)
tail(lines, n = 2)
sample(lines, size = 2)
# }
