read_glimpse: Read the results of 'tibble::glimpse' back into a data frame

In alistaire47/read.so: Read Tables from Stack Overflow Questions into R

Description

read_glimpse and read.glimpse read the data printed by tibble::glimpse() back into a data frame.

Usage

read_glimpse(
  file = clipr::read_clip(),
  class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame")
)

read.glimpse(file = clipr::read_clip(), class = "data.frame")

Arguments

file	Character. A path to a file, a connection, or literal data (either a single string or a vector of lines). If unspecified, reads from the clipboard.
class	A character vector of classes to assign to the results.

Details

read_glimpse and read.glimpse are roughly inverses of tibble::glimpse, except:

• they subset to rows where the input contains the complete data for the observation,

• list and matrix columns are unsupported and may lead to unexpected behavior, and

• since glimpse does not provide attributes or data frame classes,

  • attributes are dropped, and

  • class is assigned as supplied when called, defaulting to a tibble for read_glimpse and a data.frame for read.glimpse.

Value

A data frame of the class specified by the class parameter.

Examples

x <- capture.output(tibble::glimpse(iris))

read_glimpse(x)

read.glimpse(x)
