# 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. ```r 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. ## Returns * 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). ## Examples ```r ## Not run: # CSV files df <- eg_read_csv("/Shared/Data/mydata.csv") df <- eg_read_csv("/Shared/Data/mydata.csv", col_types = "ccn") # Delimited files df <- eg_read_delim("/Shared/Data/mydata.txt") df <- eg_read_delim("/Shared/Data/mydata.txt", delim = "|") # Excel files df <- eg_read_excel("/Shared/Data/workbook.xlsx") df <- eg_read_excel("/Shared/Data/workbook.xlsx", sheet = "Summary") # SAS files df <- eg_read_sas("/Shared/Data/mydata.sas7bdat") df <- eg_read_xpt("/Shared/Data/mydata.xpt") # Stata files df <- eg_read_stata("/Shared/Data/mydata.dta") # SPSS files df <- eg_read_spss("/Shared/Data/mydata.sav") # RDS files (any R object) obj <- eg_read_rds("/Shared/Data/model.rds") ## End(Not run) ``` ## See Also * `eg_read()` for downloading raw files without parsing * eg_write_file for writing data files to Egnyte
