Load a Data File Using the Directory, Date, and Extension

Description

load_data is meant to find and load a delimited or Excel data file given the directory that it's in, the date used in the file name, and the file extension. It is essentially a wrapper around find_file and read_file.

Usage

load_data(
  date = NULL,
  directory,
  file_name = NULL,
  ext = c("csv", "xlsx"),
  pattern = paste0(".*", date, ".*", ext[[1]])
)

Arguments

date	The Date to look for in the file name
directory	The directory to search in using find_file
file_name	Optionally, the name of the file to load; this is useful if searching for non-standard files
ext	The extension of the file to load
pattern	A regular expression combining directory, date, ext, and (possibly) other pieces of the file to load

Value

A tibble containing the loaded data
