Write Data Files to Egnyte

These functions write R objects to data files and upload them to Egnyte. Each function is a thin wrapper that writes to a temporary file using the appropriate package, then handles the upload.

Usage

eg_write_csv(x, path, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

eg_write_delim(x, path, delim = "\t", overwrite = FALSE, ...)

eg_write_xpt(x, path, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

eg_write_stata(x, path, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

eg_write_spss(x, path, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

eg_write_excel(x, path, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

eg_write_rds(x, path, overwrite = FALSE, compress = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A data frame (or R object for eg_write_rds()) to write. For eg_write_excel(), can also be a named list of data frames to create multiple sheets.

path

The Egnyte destination path (e.g., "/Shared/Data/results.csv").

overwrite

If FALSE (default), fails if a file already exists at path. Set to TRUE to replace existing files.

...

Additional arguments passed to the underlying write function.

delim

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

compress

Compression type for RDS files. See saveRDS() for options. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

The Egnyte path (invisibly).

Details

Each function requires an optional package to be installed:

Function	Package	Underlying Function
eg_write_csv()	readr	readr::write_csv()
eg_write_delim()	readr	readr::write_delim()
eg_write_excel()	writexl	writexl::write_xlsx()
eg_write_xpt()	haven	haven::write_xpt()
eg_write_stata()	haven	haven::write_dta()
eg_write_spss()	haven	haven::write_sav()
eg_write_rds()	(base R)	saveRDS()

All arguments passed through ... are forwarded to the underlying function.

Note on SAS files: Haven can only write SAS transport files (.xpt), not native SAS data files (.sas7bdat). Transport files are compatible with SAS and can be read back with eg_read_xpt() or haven::read_xpt().

  list(cars = mtcars, flowers = iris),
  "/Shared/Data/workbook.xlsx"
)

# SAS transport files

} # }
