importGridsuite {OpenRepGrid}

Import Gridsuite data files.

Description

Import Gridsuite data files.

Usage

importGridsuite(file, dir = NULL)

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).

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.
