R: Read Multiple Datasets

readDatasets {rpact}

R Documentation

Read Multiple Datasets

Description

Reads a data file and returns it as a list of dataset objects.

Usage

readDatasets(
  file,
  ...,
  header = TRUE,
  sep = ",",
  quote = "\"",
  dec = ".",
  fill = TRUE,
  comment.char = "",
  fileEncoding = "UTF-8"
)

Arguments

`file`	A CSV file (see `read.table`).
`...`	Further arguments to be passed to `read.table`.
`header`	A logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line.
`sep`	The field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If sep = "," (the default for `readDatasets`) the separator is a comma.
`quote`	The set of quoting characters. To disable quoting altogether, use quote = "". See scan for the behavior on quotes embedded in quotes. Quoting is only considered for columns read as character, which is all of them unless `colClasses` is specified.
`dec`	The character used in the file for decimal points.
`fill`	logical. If `TRUE` then in case the rows have unequal length, blank fields are implicitly added.
`comment.char`	character: a character vector of length one containing a single character or an empty string. Use "" to turn off the interpretation of comments altogether.
`fileEncoding`	character string: if non-empty declares the encoding used on a file (not a connection) so the character data can be re-encoded. See the 'Encoding' section of the help for file, the 'R Data Import/Export Manual' and 'Note'.

Details

Reads a file that was written by writeDatasets() before.

Value

Returns a list of Dataset objects.
