Get or set global options affecting functions across readtext.

readtext_options(..., reset = FALSE, initialize = FALSE)

Arguments

...

options to be set, as key-value pair, same as options(). This may be a list of valid key-value pairs, useful for setting a group of options at once (see examples).

reset

logical; if TRUE, reset all readtext options to their default values

initialize

logical; if TRUE, reset only the readtext options that are not already defined. Used for setting initial values when some have been defined previously, such as in .Rprofile.

Value

When called using a key = value pair (where key can be a label or quoted character name)), the option is set and TRUE is returned invisibly.

When called with no arguments, a named list of the package options is returned.

When called with reset = TRUE as an argument, all arguments are options are reset to their default values, and TRUE is returned invisibly.

Details

Currently available options are:

verbosity

Default verbosity for messages produced when reading files. See readtext().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# save the current options
(opt <- readtext_options())

# set higher verbosity
readtext_options(verbosity = 3)

# read something in here
if (!interactive()) pkgload::load_all()
DATA_DIR <- system.file("extdata/", package = "readtext")
readtext(paste0(DATA_DIR, "/txt/UDHR/*"))

# reset to saved options
readtext_options(opt)
}
