options(frequency_render = FALSE)

# Create frequency tables for the entire dataset
freq(big5)

# For specific variable/s
freq(big5[5:6])
freq(big5$country)

# Produce a list of tables
out <- freq(big5[8:10])
out[1]

options(frequency_render = TRUE)
## Not run: 
# To automatically open html output in your browser use the following option:
options(frequency_open_output = TRUE)
freq(big5[, c('gender', 'E1')])

# To save the output specify the filename and format
freq(big5, file = "mydir/myfile.html")

# Supports label attributes from the package foreign package
library(foreign)
dat <- read.spss(myfile)
freq(dat)
# (Note: foreign may drop attributes when using to.data.frame = TRUE)
df <- read.spss(myfile, to.data.frame = TRUE)
freq(df)

# Also supports label attributes from the haven package
