read_tb0: Reads a MESH tb0 file

In CentreForHydrology/MESHr: pre- and post processing for MESH

Description

Reads in a tb0 file. The time series values, if present, will be stored in a data frame. Optionally, the meta data will be stored as lists. The meta data are of 2 types, the header values, which refer to the entire file and column values, which pertain to individual columns.

Usage

read_tb0(tb0File = "", values_only = TRUE, timezone = "", NAvalue = NULL)

Arguments

tb0File	Required. The name of the file to be read.
values_only	Optional. If TRUE (the default), only the time series values will be returned. If FALSE, the meta data will also be returned. Note that if the value is set to TRUE, and there are no time series values in the file, as for a reservoir file, then an error will result.
timezone	Optional. The data time series have POSIXct datetime values. You may want to specify the timezone of the data. If the timezone is not specified, your default value (i.e. your time zone) will be used.
NAvalue	Optional. If specified, values smaller than NAvalue will be set to NA_real_

Value

Returns time series as a data frame. If meta data are specified, they are returned as a list of header data and a data frame of column meta data. In this case all three sets of data are combined in a single
