R: Iterator over Rows of a Data Frame Stored in a File

iread.table {iterators} | R Documentation

## Iterator over Rows of a Data Frame Stored in a File

### Description

Returns an iterator over the rows of a data frame stored in a file in table format. It is a wrapper around the standard `read.table` function.

### Usage

    iread.table(file, ..., verbose=FALSE)

### Arguments

`file` | the name of the file to read the data from.
`...` | all additional arguments are passed on to the `read.table` function. See the documentation for `read.table` for more information.
`verbose` | logical value indicating whether or not to print the calls to `read.table`.

### Value

The file reading iterator.

### Note

In this version of `iread.table`, both the `read.table` arguments `header` and `row.names` must be specified. This is because the default values of these arguments depend on the contents of the beginning of the file. In order to make the subsequent calls to `read.table` work consistently, the user must specify those arguments explicitly. A future version of `iread.table` may remove this requirement.
