elrReadData {EffectLiteR}R Documentation

Read Data File

Description

Tries to determine the format of the data by the file ending and chooses the appropriate function to read data. Currently supports .csv, .dat, .txt, .sav, and .xpt and calls read.csv, read.csv2, read.table, read.spss, read.xport accordingly. The default values for arguments depend on the function used to read data.

Usage

elrReadData(
  file,
  name = NULL,
  header = "default",

  dec = "default",
  use.value.labels = "default",
  na.strings = "NA"
)
