read_data: Read common data formats

In itsdalmo/seamless: A toolbox for seamlessly integrating R

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, ...)

## Default S3 method:
read_data(file, ..., sheet = NULL, delim = NULL)

Arguments

file	Path to a file with a supported extension.
...	Additional arguments passed to underlying functions. (Currently, read_delim and read_excel.)
sheet	Specify one or more sheets when reading excel files.
delim	The deliminator used for flat files.

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.
