load_data: Load Data from ZIP File
In outcomesinsights/jigsaw_r: Tools for Working With Observational Data

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

This function takes a zipfile from Jigsaw, identifies all files in the zipfile, and unzips them all into a temp file. Then it cleans the data by fixing dates to be an R date class (using the data.table IDate class for speed). Finally, it gives the option of loading all of the files into the global environment, or saving them all as RDS files to a user-specified directory. This function provides status updates at each step using the R message function. File reading is done using the data.table fread() function which is set to "verbose" output to help the user identify problems.
