importGridsuite: Import Gridsuite data files.

In OpenRepGrid: Tools to analyse repertory grid data

Description

Import Gridsuite data files.

Usage

importGridsuite(file, dir)

Arguments

file	Filename including path if file is not in current working directory. File can also be a complete URL. The fileformat is .dat.
dir	Alternative way to supply the directory where the file is located (default NULL).

Value

A single repgrid object in case one file and a list of repgrid objects in case multiple files are imported.

Note

The developers of Gridsuite have proposed to use an XML scheme as a standard exchange format for repertory grid data (Walter, Bacher & Fromm, 2004). This approach is also embraced by the OpenRepGrid package.

Note

TODO: The element and construct IDs are not used yet. Thus, if the output should be in different order the current mechanism will cause false assignments.

# specifying a directory (arbitrary example directory)
dir <- "/Users/markheckmann/data"
rg <- importGridsuite(file, dir)

# using a full path
rg <- importGridsuite("/Users/markheckmann/data/gridsuite.xml")
