export_path: Export an object

In tonyelhabr/teproj: Tony's Personal Package

Description

Saves data given a full path.

Usage

export_path(
  x = NULL,
  path = NULL,
  overwrite = TRUE,
  backup = FALSE,
  path_backup = NULL,
  export = TRUE,
  return = TRUE,
  dir = getwd(),
  file = deparse(substitute(x)),
  ext = .guess_ext(x, path),
  ...
)

Arguments

x	data.frame (or matrix) for most formats.
path	character. Concatenation of file, dir, and ext,
overwrite	logical.
backup	logical.
path_backup	like path,
export	logical. Indicates whether to actually carry res action. Intended to be used as a "catch all".
return	logical. Relevant ONLY if export == FALSE. Set to TRUE in order to preview what would be rendered.
dir	character. Folder name (with a trailing slash).
file	character. Bare file (i.e. without folderor extension),
ext	character. Bare extension (i.e. without a dot). Must be one of valid formats.
...	dots. Parameters to pass directly to the internally used export function. Important for explicitly specifying non-default ggplot2::ggsave() parameters, as well as specifying worksheets, etc. for an Excel-based export method.

Details

This function works similarly to export_ext() internally, but the order of the arguments are presented in a different order because it is assumed that path will be supplied. This not the assumption with the export_ext() function. If for some reason path is not provided, the dir, file, and ext defaults are used.

Note that the difference between export_path() and export_ext() is not as significant as it is for import_path() and import_ext().

Also, export_path() does not have an analogue to import_path_cleanly().

Value

object.
