r - 'Embedded nul in string' error when importing csv with fread -
so, have large file (3.5g) i'm trying import using data.table::fread
.
it created rpt file opened text , saved csv.
this has worked fine smaller files (of same type of data-same columns , all. 1 longer timeframe , wider reach).
when try , run
mydata<-fread("mycsv.csv")
i error:
error in fread("mycsv.csv") : embedded nul in string: 'y\0e\0a\0r\0'
what mean?
that's strange file! can remove null terminators on command line using like:
sed 's/\\0//g' mycsv.csv > mycsv.csv
