Join data files in a zipped NEON data package by table type
Given a zipped data file, do a full join of all data files, grouped by table type. This should result in a small number of large files.
stackByTable( filepath, savepath = NA, folder = FALSE, saveUnzippedFiles = FALSE, dpID = NA, package = NA, nCores = 1 )
filepath |
The location of the zip file |
savepath |
The location to save the output files to |
folder |
T or F: does the filepath point to a parent, unzipped folder, or a zip file? If F, assumes the filepath points to a zip file. Defaults to F. No longer needed; included for back compatibility. |
saveUnzippedFiles |
T or F: should the unzipped monthly data folders be retained? |
dpID |
Data product ID of product to stack. Ignored and determined from data unless input is a vector of files, generally via stackFromStore(). |
package |
Data download package, either basic or expanded. Ignored and determined from data unless input is a vector of files, generally via stackFromStore(). |
nCores |
The number of cores to parallelize the stacking procedure. To automatically use the maximum number of cores on your machine we suggest setting nCores=parallel::detectCores(). By default it is set to a single core. |
All files are unzipped and one file for each table type is created and written. If savepath="envt" is specified, output is a named list of tables; otherwise, function output is null and files are saved to the location specified.
