Generating a var.mod type file — gen

Generating a daily variable list file from variables names

gen_varmod(
  workspace,
  var,
  append = FALSE,
  file_name = "var.mod",
  stics_version = "latest",
  force = FALSE,
  var_names = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  version = lifecycle::deprecated()
)

Arguments

workspace: Path of the directory containing the STICS var.mod file to modify
var: vector of variables names (see details)
append: if TRUE, var data are appended to file_name
file_name: file name to generate (without path, default value: "var.mod")
stics_version: Name of the STICS version (used to check variable names)
force: Force variables writing even if they are not a STICS variable (default: FALSE).
var_names: var_names is no longer supported, use var instead.
version: version is no longer supported, use stics_version instead.

Value

None

Details

Variable names can be found using get_var_info(). They are checked before writing. If any variable name does not exist, it will not be written by default, but the function will still write the variables that exist. force= TRUE may however be used to write variables that do not exist.

Examples

gen_varmod(tempdir(), c("lai(n)", "hauteur"))
# Add a variable to the others:
gen_varmod(tempdir(), "masec(n)", append = TRUE)
# NB: var.mod will have "lai(n)","hauteur" and "masec(n)"
