merge_files_from_dir: Merges Files of the Same Format

In mc-schaaf/rainR: Really Awesome and Interesting New R-Package

Merges Files of the Same Format

Description

crawls the supplied 'dir_path' and searches for files matching 'regex_exp'. It then reads in those files and merges the data into one data frame via appending. Hence, files must have the same data format (number and identity of columns).

Usage

merge_files_from_dir(
  regex_exp,
  dir_path = NULL,
  debug = "no",
  include_file_information = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

regex_exp	A regular expression. Only file names which match the regular expression will be returned.
dir_path	a character vector of full path names; the default corresponds to the working directory, getwd. Tilde expansion (see path.expand) is performed. Missing values will be ignored. Elements with a marked encoding will be converted to the native encoding (and if that fails, considered non-existent). See list.files.
debug	debug options. Must be one of "no", "return.names", or "print.bad.files". Defaults to "no".
include_file_information	whether to include some path information to the returned data set.
...	additional arguments that will be supplied to the underlying fread function

Value

merged dataset
