to.sav: Create .sav SPSS file from a data frame

Description

This function takes a R data frame and writes it to an SPSS file using the Haven package. The resulting file will be stored in the "tmp" directory with a default name derived from the data frame variable name, but can be customized if desired. The function will prompt for confirmation before creating the file, with an option to remember the user's preference for future calls.

Usage

to.sav(df, df_name = NULL, path = ".", skip_prompt = TRUE)

Value

Invisible TRUE if successful. Writes an SPSS file to the designated path and prints a message indicating the file's location.

Arguments

df

Data frame to be exported to SPSS format.

df_name

Optional; custom file name for the saved SPSS file. If not provided, the name of the data frame variable will be used. The ".sav" extension will be appended automatically.

path

Character string specifying the directory path where the "tmp" folder and SPSS file should be created. Defaults to the current working directory.

skip_prompt

Logical. If TRUE (default), skips the confirmation prompt. If FALSE, will prompt for confirmation unless the user has previously chosen to remember their preference.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Create a sample data frame
sample_df <- data.frame(
  id = 1:3,
  score = c(85, 92, 78),
  group = c("A", "B", "A")
)

# Basic usage with prompt
to.sav(sample_df)

# Custom filename
to.sav(sample_df, "participants_data")

# Skip the confirmation prompt
to.sav(sample_df, skip_prompt = TRUE)

# Save in a different directory
to.sav(sample_df, path = "path/to/project")
}
