Collect file paths based on file names without extensions

Constructs a list of file paths based on an input vector of file names without extensions. Preference is given to .parquet files, if present, over .rds and .sas7bdat files unless prefer_sas or prefer_rds is TRUE. prefer_sas and prefer_rds are mutually exclusive.

Usage

collect_data_list_paths(
  sub_dir,
  file_names,
  use_wd,
  prefer_sas,
  prefer_rds = FALSE
)

Arguments

sub_dir

A relative directory/folder that will be appended to a base path defined by Sys.getenv("RXD_DATA"). If the argument is left as NULL, the function will load data from the working directory getwd().

file_names

CDISC names for the files

use_wd

for "use working directory" - a flag used when importing local files not on NFS - default value is FALSE

prefer_sas

if TRUE, imports .sas7bdat files first instead of .parquet and .rds files

prefer_rds

if TRUE, imports .rds files first instead of .parquet and .sas7bdat files

Value

a character vector of resolved file paths
