Yes, thanks. Are other files reading ok on Windows or is it just
this particular file?<br>
e.g. does this work :<br>
fread(<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/datasets/csb/ch11b.dat">"http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/datasets/csb/ch11b.dat"</a>)<br>

Works for me as well on linux, same output as Kevin's.<br>
<br>
I was perplexed as to why Farrel's output has :
<div class=""><br>
File opened, filesize is 6.2E-05B<br>
</div>
but we see :
<div class=""><br>
File opened, filesize is 0.000 GB<br>
</div>
That line is switched depending on Windows or not. Comparing
them :<br>
<br>
// On Windows :<br>
if (verbose) Rprintf("File opened, filesize is %.3 GB\n",
1.0*filesize/(1024*1024*1024));<br>
<br>
// On non-Windows :<br>
if (verbose) Rprintf("File opened, filesize is %.3f GB\n",
1.0*filesize/(1024*1024*1024));<br>
<br>
So, a missing "f". Just committed a fix for that (r1223).
That line is part of a block that is necessarily different
on Windows because its file and mmap commands are different.
The missing 'f' could have feasibly corrupted memory
somehow (strange that the "G" of "GB" got overwritten) and
if so would explain why it thought it got to the end of the
file before seeing the \n after the \r.<br>
<br>
Farrel - does v1.9.2 work for you on Windows with
verbose=FALSE? If yes, then very likely verbose=TRUE will
now work with commit 1223. Best to start with a new R
session to clear any possible memory corruption and then try
:<br>
<br>
fread("<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/zscore/statage.csv"
target="_blank">http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/zscore/statage.csv</a>",
verbose=FALSE)<br>
<br>
If not, can anyone else reproduce on Windows? If so, I'll
need to debug it on Windows.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Matt
