parse_meta: Parse fixed-width file metadata

Description

Parse dataset metadata

Usage

parse_dcf(dcf, all_lower = TRUE)
parse_sps(sps, all_lower = TRUE)
parse_do(do, dct, all_lower = TRUE)

Value

data.frame with metadata for parsing fixed-width flat file

Arguments

dcf

.DCF file path to parse

all_lower

logical indicating whether to convert variable labels to lower case. Defaults to `TRUE`.

sps

.SPS file as character vector (e.g. from readLines / brio::read_lines)

do

.DO file as character vector (e.g. from readLines / brio::read_lines)

dct

.DCT file as character vector (e.g. from readLines / brio::read_lines)

Examples

mrfl_zip <- tempfile()
download.file("https://dhsprogram.com/data/model_data/dhs/zzmr61fl.zip",
              mrfl_zip, mode = "wb")

dcf <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.DCF", readLines)
dct <- rdhs:::parse_dcf(dcf)

sps <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.SPS", readLines)
dct <- rdhs:::parse_sps(sps)

do <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.DO", readLines)
dctin <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.DCT", readLines)
dct <- rdhs:::parse_do(do, dctin)
