How to column bind two ffdf
Suppose two ffdf files: library(ff) ff1 <- as.ffdf(data.frame(matrix(rnorm(10*10),ncol=10))) ff2 <- ff1 colnames(ff2) <- 1:10 How can I column bind these without loading them into memory? cbind doesn't work. There is the same question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18355686/columnbind-ff-data-frames-in-r but it does not have an MWE and the author abandoned it so I reposted. Audrey You can use the following construct cbind.ffdf2 , making sure the column names of the two input ffdf 's are not duplicate: library(ff) ff1 <- as.ffdf(data.frame(letA = letters[1:5], numA = 1:5)) ff2 <- as.ffdf
