EDCimport (version 0.6.0)

read_trialmaster: Read the .zip archive of a TrialMaster export

Description

Import the .zip archive of a TrialMaster trial export as a list of dataframes. The archive filename should be leaved untouched as it contains the project name and the date of extraction.
Generate a .rds cache file for future reads.
If 7zip is not installed or available, use read_all_xpt() instead.

The TM export should be of type SAS Xport, with the checkbox "Include Codelists" ticked.

Usage

read_trialmaster(
  archive,
  ...,
  use_cache = "write",
  clean_names_fun = NULL,
  subdirectories = FALSE,
  pw = getOption("trialmaster_pw"),
  verbose = getOption("edc_read_verbose", 1),
  key_columns = "deprecated"
)

Value

a list containing one dataframe for each .xpt file in the folder, the extraction date (datetime_extraction), and a summary of all imported tables (.lookup).

Arguments

archive

[character(1)]
the path to the archive

...

unused

use_cache

[mixed(1): "write"]
controls the .rds cache. If TRUE, read the cache if any or extract the archive and create a cache. If FALSE extract the archive without creating a cache file. Can also be "read" or "write".

clean_names_fun

use edc_clean_names() instead.

subdirectories

[logical(1)]
whether to read subdirectories

pw

[character(1)]
The password if the archive is protected. To avoid writing passwords in plain text, it is probably better to use options(trialmaster_pw="xxx") instead though.

verbose

[numeric(1)]
one of c(0, 1, 2). The higher, the more information will be printed.

key_columns

deprecated
