title: reading last rows of a csv file in r
body: <p>I've got a csv file which is 65000 rows from 2005 to 2016, so I just need to read a few thousand from the endrows. This is how I'm reading the file so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>header &lt;- c("Date", "Time", "Open", "High", "Low", "Close", "Volume")
  
  #Data Frame of hourly data for GBPUSD
  dfGBPUSD60 &lt;- read.csv("03GBPUSD60.csv", header = header, sep = ",", quote =     
  "\"")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in R this takes ages to read. Is there an efficient way of reading just the last rows from this file?</p>
