[datatable-help] New function fread() in v1.8.7

[akhilsbehl]

Here is a new problem:

I have a csv that looks like this:

PO,CASH,2012080150000306,67389310793869,bbRELIANCE,EQ,74025,700,2012080150004326,1,3,2012080150001143,1,3
PO,CASH,2012080150000307,67389310793884,bbRELIANCE,EQ,74025,2000,2012080150007969,1,3,2012080150001143,1,3
PO,CASH,2012080150000308,67389310793896,bbRELIANCE,EQ,74025,1000,2012080150002222,1,3,2012080150001143,1,3

read.csv(filename) gives me:

1 PO CASH 2.01208e+15 6.738931e+13 bbRELIANCE EQ 74025   700 2.01208e+15   1  
3 2.01208e+15   1   3
2 PO CASH 2.01208e+15 6.738931e+13 bbRELIANCE EQ 74025  2000 2.01208e+15   1  
3 2.01208e+15   1   3
3 PO CASH 2.01208e+15 6.738931e+13 bbRELIANCE EQ 74025  1000 2.01208e+15   1  
3 2.01208e+15   1   3

fread(filename, verbose=TRUE) gives me:

Detected eol as \n only (no \r afterwards), the UNIX and Mac standard.
Starting format detection on line 30 (the last non blank line in the first
30)
Detected sep as ',' and 14 columns
Type codes: 33113300100100
Found first row with 14 fields occuring on line 1 (either column names or
first row of data)
The first data row has some non character fields. Treating as a data row and
using default column names.
Count of eol after pos: 54025
Subtracted 1 for last eol and any trailing empty lines, leaving 54024 data
rows

Error in fread(data.files[[2]], verbose = TRUE) : 
  Coercing integer64 to real needs to be implemented

Type codes show it is trying to read columns 3, 4, 9, 12 as real numbers.
Now, I may be out of depth here but shouldn't they just be integers? Am I
missing something?

Thanks.
