read_data: Read data with multi-byte separator

In agritag/infeR: Inferring information from data

Description

Read in data set which is seperated with multi-byte symbol. This function creates workaround for data.table::fread function by replacing multi-byte symbol with single-byte symbol and then uses built-in functions.

read_data(filepath, sep, sbyte_sep = "\t", header = TRUE)

Arguments

filepath	character string. Desciption to connection object
sep	string. Description of multi-byte seperator. Single-byte seperator also can be used.
sbyte_sep	string. Single byte seperator that will be used to replace multi-byte seperator. Default is \t.
header	logical. Does data contain header.

Value

data.frame of read in data set

Examples

#MovieTweetings dataset from sidooms github project 
df <- read_data(filepath=paste0("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sidooms/",
                                "MovieTweetings/master/latest/movies.dat"),
          sep="::", sbyte_sep = "~", header=FALSE)
