read_apsim_met {apsimx}

Read in an APSIM met file

Description

Read into R a met file and return an object of class ‘met’

Usage

read_apsim_met(file, src.dir = ".", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

file

path to met file

src.dir

optional source directory

verbose

whether to suppress all messages and warnings

Details

Read a met file into R

This function uses S3 classes and stores the additional information as attributes
I use a more strict format than APSIM and reading and writing will not
preserve all the details. For example, at this moment comments are lost through
the process of read and write unless they are added back in manually.
Also, empty lines are ignored so these will be lost as well in the read and write process.

Value

an object of class ‘met’ with attributes

Examples

extd.dir <- system.file("extdata", package = "apsimx")
ames.met <- read_apsim_met("Ames.met", src.dir = extd.dir)
ames.met
