read_file() reads a complete file into a single object: either a
character vector of length one, or a raw vector. write_file() takes a
single string, or a raw vector, and writes it exactly as is. Raw vectors
are useful when dealing with binary data, or if you have text data with
unknown encoding.
read_file(file, locale = default_locale()) read_file_raw(file) write_file(x, path, append = FALSE)
| file | Either a path to a file, a connection, or literal data (either a single string or a raw vector). Files ending in Literal data is most useful for examples and tests. It must contain at least one new line to be recognised as data (instead of a path) or be a vector of greater than length 1. Using a value of |
|---|---|
| locale | The locale controls defaults that vary from place to place.
The default locale is US-centric (like R), but you can use
|
| x | A data frame to write to disk |
| path | Path or connection to write to. |
| append | If |
read_file: A length 1 character vector.
read_lines_raw: A raw vector.
