Read Survey Files

Import surveys into a list. Adds filename as a constant to each element of the list.

read_surveys(import_file_names, .f = "read_rds", save_to_rds = TRUE)

Arguments

import_file_names	A vector of file names to import.
.f	A function to import the surveys with. Defaults to 'read_rds'. For SPSS files, read_spss is recommended, which is a well-parameterized version of read_spss that saves some metadata, too.
save_to_rds	Should it save the imported survey to .rds? Defaults to TRUE.

Value

A list of the surveys. Each element of the list is a data frame. The respective file names are added to each data frame as a constant column filename.

Examples

file1 <- system.file(
    "examples", "ZA7576.rds", package = "eurobarometer")
file2 <- system.file(
    "examples", "ZA5913.rds", package = "eurobarometer")

read_surveys (c(file1,file2), .f = 'read_rds' )
#> Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...): The file does not exist.
