[R] problem

[Erika Frigo]

Goodmorning Jim,
My file has not only more than a million values, but more than a million 
rows and moreless 30 columns (it is a productive dataset for cows), infact 
with read.table i'm not able to import it.
It is an xls file.
How do you import your million rows and 4-5 columns files?
thank you
regards
