In s20x: Functions for University of Auckland Course STATS 201/208 Data Analysis

Open a case study source file in the editor

Description

Opens a case study .Rmd file for interactive use. The file shipped inside the package is copied to dest_dir (so it is writable), then opened in the RStudio editor when available (otherwise the system editor).

Usage

openCaseStudy(id, dest_dir = getwd(), overwrite = FALSE, ...)

opencs(id, dest_dir = getwd(), overwrite = FALSE, ...)

ocs(id, dest_dir = getwd(), overwrite = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

id	Case study identifier. Flexible formats are accepted, including "CS9_2", "CS9.2", "9_2", or "9.2".
dest_dir	Directory to copy the case study into. Defaults to the current working directory. This legacy argument is retained for compatibility; new code may use the camelCase destDir alias through ....
overwrite	Logical; overwrite an existing file in dest_dir.
...	Additional compatibility arguments. Currently supports destDir, a camelCase alias for dest_dir.

Value

Invisibly returns the path to the copied file.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  openCaseStudy("2.1")
  openCaseStudy("2.1", destDir = tempdir())
}
