Finally, we have text files.
A lot of pipelines produces text files and
it is up to you as a user to write a passer or two to read in these text files.
Hopefully most of the time it's really easy to read them in.
And sometimes it can be a real pain.
So the main work horse for reading in rectangular data in text files and
base reduct table, it has lot of arguments.
There's a lot of help pages and incident about it.
You can usually read in files with a lot of pain with reduct table,
I want to draw your attention to two recent developments.
The reader packets that has a set of versatile functions, and
the data.table package that also has a very fast function.
The reader package is a little slower than data.table, but in my opinion,
it's a little easier to use and a bit more versatile,
so that's what I would recommend.
