read.org.table

Read.table for an Emacs Org Table

Description

Read an emacs “Org” table (in file or text) by read.table().

Usage

read.org.table(file, header = TRUE, skip = 0,
               encoding = "native", fileEncoding = "", text, ...)

Arguments

`file`	a file name, a `file` or other connection.
`header`	logical indicating if the org table has header line (in the usual `"\|"`-separated org table format).
`skip`	integer number of initial lines to skip.
`encoding`	to be used in the main `readLines(file, encoding=encoding)` call.
`fileEncoding`	if `file` is a file name, i.e., a `character` string, and `fileEncoding` is not the empty string, `file(file, "rt", encoding = fileEncoding)` will be used.
`text`	instead of `file`, a `character` or string (of a few lines, typically).
`...`	further arguments passed to `read.table`. You should not use `encoding` (but possibly `fileEncoding`!) here, as we do not call `read.table` on `file` (but on a `textConnection`).

Value

a data.frame

Note

TODO: It should be easy to extend read.org.table() to also work for some of the proposed Markdown formats for tables. Please write to maintainer("sfsmisc") or open a github issue if you are interested.
