when will sep2 in fread be implemented?聽#1162
Description
Activity
@mattdowle , @arunsrinivasan , do you have any suggestions for implementation of this feature? I will try to work on it.
Contributions welcome!
Generally to potential contributors: I understand thatfread.cis one of the hardest pieces of C to work on (for example), especially now that it's multi-threaded. But I would have thought that would make it more attractive to learn C and contribute to, for the very reason it is impressive; e.g. enhancing your CV.
I would prefer to help someone else do it (sep2), than do it myself.- changed the title

Are there any plans to actually implement this in the forseeable future? I have a use case that could really use this, and looking at the documentation I initially thought that this was in the works for the next release or something. But it seems that the argument has been present, documented, and completely nonfunctional for 6 years?
https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/blame/f0e6da5dceaedfd322abe63209a2062517ccd0e1/man/fread.Rd#L36I am not aware of anyone actively working on it, so unless you would like to implement this feature, I don't think it will be added to anytime soon.
I can't wait 馃榾
