epi_write: Write files with a consistent convenience function

In AntonioJBT/episcout: Quickly Clean, Explore and Visualise Large Epidemiological Datasets

Write files with a consistent convenience function

Description

epi_write() writes files with a consistent convenience function. Wraps data.table's fwrite with several assumptions as defaults.

Usage

epi_write(
  file_object = NULL,
  file_name = "my_file.tsv",
  row.names = FALSE,
  quote = FALSE,
  sep = "\t",
  na = "NA",
  col.names = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

file_object	Object to write
file_name	file name as a string, default is 'my_file.tsv'
row.names	as for data.table::fwrite(), default is also FALSE
quote	as for data.table::fwrite(), default is FALSE
sep	as for data.table::fwrite(), default is tab separated
na	as for data.table::fwrite(), default is 'NA'
col.names	as for data.table::fwrite(), default is also TRUE
...	pass any other data.table::fwrite() parameters

Value

None

Note

Other parameters as specified by data.table::fwrite() You are probably better off using the standard write.csv(), data.table::fwrite() directly or other functions unless you are writing out several similarly constructed objects. Files are written with data.table. Column names are written, row names are not, quotes are not used. Columns are tab separated. NAs are written as 'NA'. Assumes the first row in the object is a header.
