Lower data.table version dependency level?

[Ananda Mahto]

Instead of 1.10.5, can lower to 1.10.4 and maybe use hasArg(logical10) (or packageVersion("data.table") < "1.10.5" or something) to decide whether to include the argument or not in fread.

Not sure if that's a good idea or not....

Done with two versions of f_split. See

   fread(VEC, sep = sep, fill = TRUE,  
         blank.lines.skip = FALSE, header = FALSE, 
         colClasses = if (!type.convert) "character" else NULL, 
         strip.white = stripWhite)[, lapply( 
           .SD, function(x) replace(x, x ==  "", NA))]
