Description

Function to read a a SMET file

Usage

smet(file = NULL, numeric = TRUE, non_numeric_fields = NULL,
  timezone.offset.sign = c("negative", "positive", "-", "+"),
  date.field = "timestamp", date.format = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S",
  comment = "#", station.field = "station_id", ...)

Arguments

file	SMET file name
numeric	logical value
non_numeric_fields	fields, except date.fiels, that contain non-numeric values
timezone.offset.sign	It can be "negative" or "positive". Many systems support timezones of the form GMT+n and GMT-n, which are at a fixed offset from UTC (hence no DST). Contrary to some usage (but consistent with names such as PST8PDT), negative offsets are times ahead of (east of) UTC, positive offsets are times behind (west of) UTC.
date.field	field neme used for date and time. Default is "timestamp".
date.format	format used for date and time. Default is "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S".
comment	character symbol used to comment lines or part of lines. Default is "#". See str_locate
station.field	field name used for station ID. Default is "station_id", as used for SMET format.
...	further arguments
