Description

Load Data

Usage

loadData(
  path,
  type = c("xlsx", "xls", "odt", "csv", "txt"),
  nrows = NA_integer_,
  sep = ",",
  dec = ".",
  fileEncoding = "",
  colNames = TRUE,
  sheet = 1,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Value

(data.frame) data loaded from the file at path

Arguments

path

path to the file

type

(character) type of file, one of c("xlsx", "xls", "odt", "csv", "txt")

nrows

integer: the maximum number of rows to read in. Negative and other invalid values are ignored.

sep

the field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If sep = "" (the default for read.table) the separator is ‘white space’, that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns.

dec

the character used in the file for decimal points.

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’.

colNames

If TRUE, the first row of data will be used as column names.

sheet

The name or index of the sheet to read data from.

verbose

Logical, indicating whether to display processing messages. If TRUE, messages will be displayed; if FALSE, messages will be suppressed. Default is TRUE.
