7.10 TSV Data
20200928 A common interchange format for sharing data across different applications is the Tab Separated Value (tsv) file format. Reading tsv files is straight forward using readr::read_tsv().
library(readr) # Modern and efficient data reader/writer.
library(stringi) # String concat operator: %s+%.
<- "abc"
dsname <- dsname %s+% ".tsv"
dspath <- read_csv(dspath)
abc <- get(dsname) ds
Writing a dataset to a csv file is straightforward using readr::write_csv():
library(rattle) # Dataset: weatherAUS.
library(dplyr) # Wrangling: select().
library(readr) # Modern and efficient data reader/writer.
<- "weatherAUS"
dsname <- get(dsname)
ds
<- "australian_temperatures.tsv"
fname
%>%
ds select(Date, Location, MinTemp, MaxTemp, Temp9am, Temp3pm) %>%
write_tsv(fname)
