Parse fixed-width file metadata

Parse dataset metadata

parse_dcf(dcf, all_lower = TRUE)

parse_sps(sps, all_lower = TRUE)

parse_do(do, dct, all_lower = TRUE)

Arguments

dcf	.DCF file path to parse
all_lower	logical indicating whether to convert variable labels to lower case. Defaults to `TRUE`.
sps	.SPS file as character vector (e.g. from readLines)
do	.DO file as character vector (e.g. from readLines)
dct	.DCT file as character vector (e.g. from readLines)

Value

data.frame with metadata for parsing fixed-width flat file

Examples

mrfl_zip <- tempfile()
download.file(
paste0(
"https://dhsprogram.com/customcf/legacy/data/sample_download_dataset.cfm?",
"Filename=ZZMR61FL.ZIP&Tp=1&Ctry_Code=zz&survey_id=0&doctype=dhs"),
mrfl_zip, mode="wb"
)

dcf <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.DCF", readLines)
dct <- rdhs:::parse_dcf(dcf)

sps <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.SPS", readLines)
dct <- rdhs:::parse_sps(sps)

do <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.DO", readLines)
dctin <- rdhs::read_zipdata(mrfl_zip, "\\.DCT", readLines)
dct <- rdhs:::parse_do(do, dctin)
