Arguments

file	A string with the path to the m-Path file.
meta_data	A string with the path to the meta data file.
warn_changed_columns	Warn if the question text, type of question, or type of answer has changed during the study. Default is TRUE and may print up to 50 warnings.

data <- read_mpath(file = basic_path,
                meta_data = meta_path)
