Read Vemco minilog file

Description

This function reads in a Vemco minilog file.

Usage

read.minilog(file, skipStart = NA, skipEnd = NA, skip = 8, pressure)

Arguments

`file`	a connection or character string of the file to read.
`skipStart`	an optional numeric value indicating number of hours to skip at the beginning of the file, default is NA, meaning keep all the data points.
`skipEnd`	an optional numeric value indicating number of hours to skip at the beginning of the file, default is NA, meaning keep all the data points.
`skip`	an optional integer value indicating the number of lines of the data file to skip before beginning to read the data, default is 8.
`pressure`	a numerical value of the pressure that the instrument was moored

Details

Reads a Vemco minilog file assuming just date, time and temperature fields. At this time it is not clear is this a standard formatted file. Saves no information from the header, not the even column names. It assumes that only temperature is present. If for some reason a conductivity or pressure sensor is added, the code for this function will need to be updated accordingly.
