Open as temporary spreadsheet

Description

Writes an R object – usually tabular data like a dataframe or tibble – to a temporary spreadsheet and subsequently opens that spreadsheet in the system's default application using xopen::xopen(). The latter is usually equivalent to double-clicking on the file in a file browser.

Usage

open_as_tmp_spreadsheet(x, format = c("csv", "xlsx"), ..., quiet = TRUE)

Arguments

x	A dataframe or something coercible to.
format	The spreadsheet format to use. One of "csv" for a comma-separated values file written using readr::write_csv(). The default. "xlsx" for an Office Open XML file commonly used by Microsoft Excel 2007+, written using writexl::write_xlsx().
...	Further arguments passed on to readr::write_csv() or writexl::write_xlsx(), depending on format.
quiet	Whether or not to echo the command to open the temporary spreadsheet on the console before running it.
