Write to a Text File — write

Writes as UTF-8 encoding and with \n line endings on UNIX systems and \r\n on Windows. This avoids some of the unintended side-effects of usethis::write_over() with R-projects.

Usage

write_text(path, lines, overwrite = FALSE)

read_text(path, n = -1L)

write_latex_tbl(
  data,
  path,
  append = FALSE,
  include_rn = TRUE,
  rn_label = "",
  caption = NULL,
  long = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

path: Path to target file. It is created if it does not exist, but the parent directory must exist.
lines: Character vector of lines. For write_union(), these are lines to add to the target file, if not already present. For write_over(), these are the exact lines desired in the target file.
overwrite: logical(1). If file exists, over-write it?
n: integer. The (maximal) number of lines to read. Negative values indicate that one should read up to the end of input on the connection.
data: An object that inherits from class data.frame.
append: logical(1). See write.table().
include_rn: logical(1). Should the row names (if present) of data be included? Passed to write.table() as row.names = parameter.
rn_label: character(1). If row names are to be included, the column title to be used.
caption: character(1). A caption for the table once in LaTeX format.
long: logical(1). Should the table be written in long format. Better for very data frames with many rows.
...: Arguments passed to write.table().

Functions

read_text(): a convenient wrapper to readLines() with default UTF-8 encoding for reading text into an R session.
write_latex_tbl(): write the contents of a data frame to a LaTeX table.
