Write a datras_raw object to a DATRAS exchange zip file

Write the contents of a datras_raw / DATRASraw object to a temporary CSV file in DATRAS exchange format and compress it into a zip archive.

Usage

write_exchange(x, zip_file = "DATRAS.zip")

Arguments

x

A datras_raw object to be written.

zip_file

Character string giving the path and name of the output zip file. Defaults to "DATRAS.zip".

Value

Invisibly returns the path to the created zip file.

Details

The function writes the available DATRAS components in the order HH, HL, and CA. For each component, the column names are written as a header line, followed by the corresponding data rows.

The exchange file is first written to a temporary CSV file and then zipped using utils::zip(). If zip_file already exists, it is overwritten.

Empty or missing components among HH, HL, and CA are skipped.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
## Write a DATRAS object to a zip archive
write_exchange(x, "NS-IBTS_2020.zip")
} # }
