R: Read lines from a file or string by chunk.

read_lines_chunked {readr} | R Documentation

## Read lines from a file or string by chunk.

### Description

Read lines from a file or string by chunk.

### Usage

    read_lines_chunked(
      file,
      callback,
      chunk_size = 10000,
      skip = 0,
      locale = default_locale(),
      na = character(),
      progress = show_progress()
    )

    read_lines_raw_chunked(
      file,
      callback,
      chunk_size = 10000,
      skip = 0,
      progress = show_progress()
    )

### Arguments

`file` | Either a path to a file, a connection, or literal data (either a single string or a raw vector). Files ending in `.gz`, `.bz2`, `.xz`, or `.zip` will be automatically uncompressed. Files starting with `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`, or `ftps://` will be automatically downloaded. Remote gz files can also be automatically downloaded and decompressed. Literal data is most useful for examples and tests. To be recognised as literal data, the input must be either wrapped with `I()`, be a string containing at least one new line, or be a vector containing at least one string with a new line. Using a value of `clipboard()` will read from the system clipboard.
`callback` | A callback function to call on each chunk
`chunk_size` | The number of rows to include in each chunk
`skip` | Number of lines to skip before reading data.
`locale` | The locale controls defaults that vary from place to place. The default locale is US-centric (like R), but you can use `locale()` to create your own locale that controls things like the default time zone, encoding, decimal mark, big mark, and day/month names.
`na` | Character vector of strings to interpret as missing values. Set this option to `character()` to indicate no missing values.
`progress` | Display a progress bar? By default it will only display in an interactive session and not while knitting a document. The automatic progress bar can be disabled by setting option `readr.show_progress` to `FALSE`.
