input_yaml: Input values into yaml file

In tadhg-moore/gotmtools: Tools to work with GOTM input data and also process the output data

Description

Inputs values into yaml file by locating the label and key within the yaml file. Preserves comments (#) if present. NOTE: this does not use a yaml parser so if there are yaml formatting errors this function will not pick them up.

Usage

input_yaml(file = "gotm.yaml", label, key, value, out_file = NULL)

Arguments

file	filepath; to .yaml which you wish to edit
label	string; which corresponds to section where the key is located
key	string; name of key in which to input the value
value	string; to be input into the key/value pair. Note boolean values must be input as 'true'/'false' as per the yaml format
out_file	filepath; to write the output yaml file (optional); defaults to overwriting file if not specified
