Read table from a web service. Inherits functionality of read.table().
Usage
read.service(
datasetid,
user = NULL,
pswd = NULL,
dec = ".",
na.strings = "NA",
fill = FALSE,
sep = "\t",
quote = if (identical(sep, "\n")) "" else "'\"",
fileEncoding = "UTF-8"
)
read.service.blocks(
datasetid,
user,
pswd,
dec = ".",
na.strings = "NA",
fill = FALSE,
sep = "\t",
quote = if (identical(sep, "\n")) "" else "'\"",
fileEncoding = "UTF-8"
)Arguments
- datasetid
Integer BExIS ID of the requested dataset.
- user
User name on BExIS. If not provided, function will prompt input.
- pswd
Password on BExIS. If not provided, function will prompt input.
- dec
the character used in the file for decimal points.
- na.strings
a character vector of strings which are to be interpreted as NA values. Blank fields are also considered to be missing values in logical, integer, numeric and complex fields.
- fill
logical. If TRUE then in case the rows have unequal length, blank fields are implicitly added. See 'Details' of
?read.table.- sep
the field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If sep = "" (the default for read.table) the separator is 'white space', that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns.
- quote
the set of quoting characters. To disable quoting altogether, use quote = "". See scan for the behaviour on quotes embedded in quotes. Quoting is only considered for columns read as character, which is all of them unless colClasses is specified.
- fileEncoding
character string: if non-empty declares the encoding to be used on a file (not a connection) so the character data can be re-encoded as they are written. See
base::connections().
