Re-arrange columns / variables in .omv-files for the statistical spreadsheet 'jamovi' (https://www.jamovi.org)

Description

Re-arrange columns / variables in .omv-files for the statistical spreadsheet 'jamovi' (https://www.jamovi.org)

Usage

arrange_cols_omv(
  dtaInp = NULL,
  fleOut = "",
  varOrd = c(),
  varMve = list(),
  psvAnl = FALSE,
  usePkg = c("foreign", "haven"),
  selSet = "",
  ...
)

Arguments

dtaInp

Either a data frame or the name of a data file to be read (including the path, if required; "FILENAME.ext"; default: NULL); files can be of any supported file type, see Details below

fleOut

Name of the data file to be written (including the path, if required; "FILE_OUT.omv"; default: ""); if empty, the resulting data frame is returned instead

varOrd

Character vector with the desired order of variable(s) in the data frame (see Details; default: c())

varMve

Named list defining to how much a particular variable (name of a list entry) should be moved up (neg. value of a list entry) or down (pos. value) in the data frame (see Details; default: c())

psvAnl

Whether analyses that are contained in the input file shall be transferred to the output file (default: FALSE)

usePkg

Name of the package: "foreign" or "haven" that shall be used to read SPSS, Stata and SAS files; "foreign" is the default (it comes with base R), but "haven" is newer and more comprehensive

selSet

Name of the data set that is to be selected from the workspace (only applies when reading .RData-files)

...

Additional arguments passed on to methods; see Details below

Details

Value

a data frame (only returned if fleOut is empty) where the order of variables / columns of the input data set is re-arranged

arrange_cols_omv internally uses the following functions for reading and writing data files in different formats: read_omv() and write_omv() for jamovi-files, utils::read.table() for CSV / TSV files, load() for reading .RData-files, readRDS() for .rds-files, haven::read_sav() or foreign::read.spss() for SPSS-files, haven::read_dta() or foreign::read.dta() for Stata-files, haven::read_sas() for SAS-data-files, and haven::read_xpt() or foreign::read.xport() for SAS-transport-files.

Examples

## Not run: 
nmeInp <- system.file("extdata", "AlbumSales.omv", package = "jmvReadWrite")
nmeOut <- tempfile(fileext = ".omv")
# the original file has the variables in the order: "Adverts", "Airplay", "Image", "Sales"
names(read_omv(nmeInp))
# first, we move the variable "Sales" to the first place using the varOrd-parameter
jmvReadWrite::arrange_cols_omv(dtaInp = nmeInp, fleOut = nmeOut,
  varOrd = c("Sales", "Adverts", "Airplay", "Image"))
names(jmvReadWrite::read_omv(nmeOut))
unlink(nmeOut)
# now, we move the variable "Sales" to the first place using the varMve-parameter
jmvReadWrite::arrange_cols_omv(dtaInp = nmeInp, fleOut = nmeOut, varMve = list(Sales = -3))
names(jmvReadWrite::read_omv(nmeOut))
unlink(nmeOut)
