Read/Write Files

Read

Reading files from disk is handled with the function read_data(). The function accepts various formats, including csv, xlsx, txt, dta, Rdata, rds, sav and others. The function accepts relative paths.

import tidypolars4sci as tp

fn = "../../src/data/example.csv"
df = tp.read_data(fn=fn)

Loading data 'example.csv'... done!

df.head().print()
