reading a big file in R

Question

[nayeona.hi]

I am a novice in this field, and this would be silly question.

I got PED and MAP file and got a raw file through PLINK (recodeAD) whose size is 8.8 G.
It takes so long time to read in R on Ubuntu server.
So... are there any ways to check out whether things are going well or split the file?

Thank you in advance.

In bash there's a built-in split function. You can take a look into the manual to see if it works for you!
