Data loading

Description

This function helps with the data loading by wraping different functions accessible in the feR package and that together make a complete and seamless data loading procedure

Usage

loadData(

  folder = "DATOS/",
  var.to.upper = TRUE,
  var.forbiden.chars = c(" ", ".", ":", ";", "-", "__", "(", ")", "[", "]", "{", "}",
    "$", "%", "&", "/", "\\", "!"),
  var.forbiden.last.char = c("_", " "),
  var.empty.starts.char = c("_"),
  guess.factor = TRUE,
  max.factor.cat = 10,
  verbose = TRUE,
  DEBUG = FALSE
)
