File paths for importing data require forward slashes. On some operating systems, such as windows, the copy and pasted file paths will have backward slashes and would need to be changed accordingly.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
cds_4003 <- CDsXML("C:/Data/NRFAPeakFlow_v11/Suitable for QMED/4003.xml")
cds_4003
}

# Import catchment descriptors from a FEH webserver XML file and display XML in the console
if (FALSE) {
cds_my_site <- CDsXML("C:/Data/FEH_Catchment_384200_458200.xml")
cds_my_site
}
