read_data: Read common data formats

In itsdalmo/reporttool: Tools for reporting

Description

A simple wrapper for reading data which currently supports Rdata, sav, txt, csv, csv2 and xlsx. Under the hood, it uses readxl, readr and haven.

Usage

read_data(file, ..., encoding = "UTF-8", decimal = ".")

Arguments

file	Path to a Rdata, sav (SPSS), txt, csv, csv2 or xlsx file.
...	Additional arguments passed to readxl and readr. For instance you can use sheet to specify a xlsx sheet when reading.
encoding	The encoding to use for txt and csv-files.
decimal	The decimal marker in the file. Typically "," in scandinavia, and "." in the U.S.

Value

A data.frame. If more than one sheet is read from a xlsx file (or you are reading a Rdata file) a list is returned instead.
