Data text delimited well formed

Description

Check that a text delimited data file is well formed

Priority

• Data Quality: Required

Issues

• So far this isn't a great check since there are lots of ways to get a data frame read in, but not in the intention of the original data submitter. For example, you could potentially read in all of the columns into a single column and get a data frame and pass the check

Procedure

• extract the fieldDelimiter and numHeaderLines for the data file
• pass that into read.table along with the file path
• if the result of read.table is a data frame the check is considered to have passed
