Read Data Files from Egnyte

These functions download data files from Egnyte and read them into R using the appropriate package. Each function is a thin wrapper that handles the file transfer, then delegates to the underlying reader.

Usage

eg_read_csv(path, ...)

eg_read_delim(path, delim = "\t", ...)

eg_read_sas(path, ...)

eg_read_xpt(path, ...)

eg_read_stata(path, ...)

eg_read_spss(path, ...)

eg_read_excel(path, sheet = NULL, ...)

eg_read_rds(path)

Arguments

path

The Egnyte path to the file (e.g., "/Shared/Data/myfile.csv").

...

Additional arguments passed to the underlying read function.

delim

The field delimiter. Defaults to tab ("\t").

sheet

Sheet to read. Either a string (sheet name) or an integer (sheet position). Defaults to the first sheet.

Value

• For tabular data: A tibble (or data frame for RDS files containing data frames).

• For RDS files: The R object stored in the file.

Haven-based readers (eg_read_sas(), eg_read_xpt(), eg_read_stata(), eg_read_spss()) return tibbles with labelled columns preserving variable labels and formats from the source file.

Details

Each function requires an optional package to be installed:

Function	Package	Underlying Function
eg_read_csv()	readr	readr::read_csv()
eg_read_delim()	readr	readr::read_delim()
eg_read_excel()	readxl	readxl::read_excel()
eg_read_sas()	haven	haven::read_sas()
eg_read_xpt()	haven	haven::read_xpt()
eg_read_stata()	haven	haven::read_dta()
eg_read_spss()	haven	haven::read_sav()
eg_read_rds()	(base R)	readRDS()

All arguments passed through ... are forwarded to the underlying function, so you can use any options those functions support (e.g., col_types for readr functions, encoding for haven functions).
