R Documentation

Diff two user options files

Description

Compares two user options files, printing the options whose values differ between them, followed by each file's deviations from the template defaults.

Usage

options_diff(
  options_file_name_a = NULL,
  options_file_name_b = NULL,
  options_dir = NULL,
  template_path = NULL
)

Arguments

`options_file_name_a`	[character, optional] Name of the first options file to compare. If not provided, the user will be prompted. Defaults to `NULL`.
`options_file_name_b`	[character, optional] Name of the second options file to compare. If not provided, the user will be prompted. Defaults to `NULL`.
`options_dir`	[character, optional] Full path to the folder that contains user options files. If not provided, the default folder is chosen. Defaults to `NULL`.
`template_path`	[character, optional] Full path to the options template file. Defaults to `NULL`.

Details

List-typed options (such as data.columns) are compared entry by entry, so the diff names the individual column mappings that differ rather than reporting the whole store as changed.

Value

[list] Invisibly, a list with the compared files, a differences data frame, and a deviations list holding one data frame of template-default deviations per file.
