跳过R中read.csv中的某些行

标签: r csv readfile

我有一个csv文件,我使用以下函数阅读:

csvData <- read.csv(file="pf.csv", colClasses=c(NA, NA,"NULL",NA,"NULL",NA,"NULL","NULL","NULL"))
dimnames(csvData)[[2]]<- c("portfolio", "date", "ticker", "quantity")

它读取该文件中的所有行。但我想从阅读中跳过一些行。如果ticker - 列的值为:ABTADCT,则不应读取该行。有可能吗?

我的csv文件示例如下:

RUS1000,01/29/1999,21st Centy Ins Group,TW.Z,90130N10,72096,1527.534,0.01,21.188

使用read.csv.sql

可以使用sqldf package

让我们说sample.csv的内容如下:

id,name,age
1,"a",23
2,"b",24
3,"c",23

现在只读取年龄= 23的行:

require(sqldf)

df <- read.csv.sql("sample.csv", "select * from file where age=23")

df
  id name age
1  1  "a"  23
2  3  "c"  23

可以选择必要的列:

df <- read.csv.sql("sample.csv", "select id, name from file where age=23")
df
  id name
1  1  "a"
2  3  "c"

答案 1 :(得分:1)

最好像评论中建议的那样稍后阅读所有和子集:

csvData [!csvData$ticker %in% c('ADCT','ABT'),]

修改

您可以使用fread包中的data.table来更有效地阅读文件。

library(read.table)
fread(file="pf.csv")

答案 2 :(得分:0)

对我来说,sqldf软件包的read.csv.sql乍一看看起来很棒。但是当我试图使用它时,却无法处理&#34; NULL&#34;字符串。 (其他人也发现了这一点。)不幸的是,它并不支持所有read.csv功能。 所以我必须自己写。我很惊讶,没有一个好的包装。

fetchLines=function(inputFile,match,fixed=T,n=100,maxlines=100000){ #inputFile='simple.csv'; match='APPLE';
  message('reading:',inputFile)
  n=min(n,maxlines)
  con  <- base::file(inputFile, open = "r",encoding = "UTF-8-BOM")
  data=c(readLines(con, n = 1, warn = FALSE))
  while (length(oneLine <- readLines(con, n = n, warn = FALSE)) > 0) {
    grab=grep(match,oneLine,value=T,fixed=fixed)
    if(length(grab)>0){
      data=c(data,grab)
      if(length(data)>maxlines){
        warning("bailing out too many");
        return(data);
      }
      cat('.')
    }
  } 
  close(con)
  gc()
  cat("\n")
  data;
}

#To avoid: argument 'object' must deparse to a single character string
fdata=textConnection( fetchLines("datafile.csv",'\\bP58\\b',fixed=F,maxlines = 100000))
df<-read.csv(fdata,header=T,sep=",",na.strings = c('NULL',''),fileEncoding = "UTF-8-BOM",stringsAsFactors = F)

R textConnection: "argument 'object' must deparse to a single character string"
