freader: read a ScanR data table

In olobiolo/acutils: Aleks Chlebowski's Utility Functions

Description

Use data.table::fread to (quickly) load a parameter data file generated by ScanR and run the usual operations that make it usable.

Usage

freader(path, pattern = "_")

Arguments

path	path to file
pattern	regular expression to select variables to keep

Details

This is a simple wrapper for fread from the package data.table. It also uses some dplyr functions to modify the resulting data.table. Some columns will be discarded. Usually the variables that are to be kept will contain a specific pattern, e.g. an underscore (_).

The data.table class is stripped from the object.

Value

a data frame
