newDatasetFromFile: Upload a file to Crunch to make a new dataset
Description
Use this import method if you have an SPSS data file. Reading such a file
into R as a data.frame will result in lost metadata. You can just send it
directly to Crunch and let the server process it.
Usage
newDatasetFromFile(file, name = basename(file),
useAlias = default.useAlias(), ...)
Arguments
file
character, the path to a file to upload. This should either be
a .csv or .sav (SPSS) file.
name
character, the name to give the new Crunch dataset. Default is
the file name
useAlias
logical whether variable alias or name should be used as R
variable names when the dataset is returned. Default is TRUE, meaning alias.
They're more computer friendly.
