R/icpsr_manifest_datasets.R

In hathawayj/tidyICPSR: A few simple functions to process data from ICPSR into R.

#' @title icpsr_manifest_datasets
#' @description Lists the available data sets.
#' @param download_folder is download folder that has `ICPSR_[####]` for the folder name from using `iscpsr_download.R`. Defaults to `NULL`.
#' If `NULL`, the user can select the folder.
#' @param md_list defaults to `TRUE`. If `TRUE` then the function prints a md bulleted list of the version history. If `FALSE`, then a vector is returned with each item being a version not on a specific date.
#' @param manifest_file_append is the text to append to the value from the `download_folder` variable. Defaults to '-manifest.txt'
#' @return
#' @export
icpsr_manifest_datasets <- function(download_folder = NULL, md_list = TRUE, manifest_file_append = "-manifest.txt") {
  # reutrn file paths to read in data
  # filepaths, File description, has data .tsv, has data .txt, has setup.sas
  #
  if(is.null(download_folder)) download_folder <- choose.dir()

  pnumber <- download_folder %>% str_extract("[0-9]+")
  file <- str_c(pnumber, manifest_file_append)
  temp <- read_lines(path(download_folder,file))


  lines_d <- temp %>% str_which("DS[0-9]+")

  out <- temp[lines_d]

  if (md_list == FALSE)
  {
    return(out)
  } else (md_list == TRUE)
  {

    str_c("- ", out) %>%
      str_c(collapse = "\n") %>%
      cat();

  }
