convert_to_rds {easyPSID}

Convert all PSID files from .txt format to .rds format

Description

Converts all PSID fixed width format .txt files in a selected directory into .rds format. Importantly, this function assumes that all files contained in the original PSID .zip files (especially those ending in .do) are present in the same directory as the PSID .txt files, and that all files within that directory have the same names as when first unzipped.

Usage

convert_to_rds(in_direc, out_direc)

Arguments

in_direc

Directory containing unzipped PSID .txt and .do files

out_direc

Directory to place PSID .rds files into

Examples

convert_to_rds(
    in_direc=system.file("extdata","unzip_dir", package = "easyPSID"),
    out_direc=tempdir()
)
