stri_read_lines: Read Text Lines from a Text File¶
Description¶
Reads a text file in ins entirety, re-encodes it, and splits it into text lines.
Usage¶
stri_read_lines(con, encoding = NULL, fname = con, fallback_encoding = NULL)
Arguments¶
|
name of the output file or a connection object (opened in the binary mode) |
|
single string; input encoding; |
|
deprecated alias of |
|
deprecated argument, no longer used |
Details¶
This aims to be a substitute for the readLines
function, with the ability to re-encode the input file in a much more robust way, and split the text into lines with stri_split_lines1 (which conforms with the Unicode guidelines for newline markers).
The function calls stri_read_raw, stri_encode, and stri_split_lines1, in this order.
Because of the way this function is currently implemented, maximal file size cannot exceed ~0.67 GB.
Value¶
Returns a character vector, each text line is a separate string. The output is always marked as UTF-8.
