getLines function

read lines as needed

Functions that take file and lines arguments can use this function to derive lines no matter what was provided.

getLines(
  file,
  lines,
  linesep = "\n",
  simplify = TRUE,
  col.model,
  modelname,
  as.one
)

Arguments

• as.one: If the file argument is used and if as.one is TRUE, the file(s) are read and put into a data.table with a model column and a text column. Default is FALSE. Be careful with this, as it returns different formats whether the file or the lines argument is used.
