In patrickm663/package2csv: Download all Datasets from a Given Package into CSV

package2csv

This R package allows users to easily download all the datasets from a given R package into CSV for further analysis.

The script is a result of much trial-and-error to automate the process of writing datasets to CSV form. No consise way was available online, so I made my own.

Installation

Prerequisite

Ensure 'devtools' is installed and you are able to install packages from GitHub.

install.packages("devtools")

Installation using DevTools

Install this package as follows:

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("patrickm663/package2csv")

Load the package:

library(package2csv)

Running the Package

In an R session, run datasets_to_csv(<name of package>, workdir = "<OPTIONAL>"). Note: If the directory provided is invalid, write.csv() will throw an error. If workdir = is not specified, it will use your current working directory.

Multiple packages can be read at once by passing the package names as a vector of strings. For example: datasets_to_csv(c("MASS", "plyr"))

TODO

• [x] Add Man page
• [x] Add support for loading multiple packages
• [x] Allow the user the ability to specify their working directory
