read_apsim: Read Multiple APSIM Output Files

In kamapu/cropgrowth: Assessing Results from Crop Growth Modelling

Description

This function is optimized for reading multiple APSIM output files and storing the data in a single data frame.

If 'file' is missing, the folder indicated in 'path' will be scanned by list.files and all contained files will be loaded. If some tables contains less columns, missing columns will be created and filled with the value indicated in 'empty_cols' (usually '0' or 'NA'). The entry indicated as title (usually the name of the file without extension) is inserted as column 'index' for the respective simulations.

Usage

read_apsim(file, path = ".", pattern = "out", na_strings, empty_cols = 0)

Arguments

file	Character vector with the names to be read.
path	A character value indicating the relative or absolute path to the folder containing the files.
pattern	A character value indicating the extension of the files (passed to list.files).
na_strings	Character vector with values that have to be converted into NAs.
empty_cols	Value used to fill new columns, if required.

Value

A data frame with daily records as rows and all variables as columns.
