Writes categorical variable tables from an EML object as text files

write_catvar_tables is a wrapper around get_catvar_tables(). It takes an EML object and writes one categorical variable table for each data table in the EML file. It writes the attribute tables as .txt files in the working directory or a specified path. This function is useful for recreating metadata with EMLassemblyline, when the user doesn't have access to the original text files.

Usage

write_catvar_tables(eml_object, path = here::here())

Arguments

eml_object

is an R object imported (typically from an EML-formatted .xml file) using EML::read_eml(, from="xml").

path

default to the working directory. This path determines where the txt files will be written.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
write_catvar_tables(example_EML)
} # }
