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
andnumHeaderLines
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
