SciencesPo (version 1.3.5)

use: Attach exclusively various file formats

Description

This works rigorously as the epicalc's use function, though limited for the file formats it can read. Fundamentally, it replaces the command attach of R and save an object with extension .data, which becomes the default dataset. All other data.frames will be detached, by the time of using the use function, unless the argument clear = FALSE is specified.

Usage

use(file, data = .data, clear = TRUE, spss.missing = TRUE,
  tolower = TRUE)

Arguments

file

The name of the file which the data are to be read from.

data

The internal name after attaching the data file.

clear

If clear = TRUE, all attached data in the environment will be detached first.

spss.missing

Whether SPSS missing values should be replaced with NA; default is spss.missing = TRUE.

tolower

Whether variable names should be forced to lower case; default is tolower = TRUE.

encoding

UTF-8

Details

By using this attach version, the data becomes available globally usually positioned in the second place, search().
