glimpse_to_file: Generate glimpse of dataset

In dataframeexplorer: Familiarity with Dataframes Before Data Manipulation

Generate glimpse of dataset

Description

Understanding the dataset through a glimpse of it will come handy while data manipulation coding. This function generates the glimpse of data.frame (similar to str()) using tibble::glimpse and write to a text file. Using same file name for different datasets will append the outputs to a same file.

Usage

glimpse_to_file(dataset, output_filename = "")

Arguments

dataset	A data.frame object
output_filename	Name of the output text file (prefer to end in ".txt", although the backend will append if not) Function's default is "glimpse_<system_time>.txt"

Value

Does not return any value, writes to disk rather

Examples

## Not run: 
glimpse_to_file(dataset = mtcars, output_filename = "glimpse_mtcars.txt")
glimpse_to_file(dataset = iris, output_filename = "C/Users/Desktop/glimpse_iris.txt")

## End(Not run)
