Read regular dwd data.
Intended to be called via readDWD()
.
readDWD.data(
file,
fread = FALSE,
varnames = FALSE,
format = NA,
tz = "GMT",
quiet = rdwdquiet(),
...
)
Name of file on harddrive, like e.g. DWDdata/daily_kl_recent_tageswerte_KL_03987_akt.zip
Logical: read faster with data.table::fread?
When reading many large historical files, speedup is significant.
When called from readDWD()
, fread=NA
can also be used, which means
TRUE if R package data.table
and system command unzip
are available.
Hint for Windows users: unzip
comes with Rtools.
See https://bookdown.org/brry/rdwd/fread.html
DEFAULT: FALSE
Logical (vector): add a short description to the DWD variable
abbreviations in the column names?
E.g. change FX,TNK
to FX.Windspitze,TNK.Lufttemperatur_Min
,
see newColumnNames()
.
DEFAULT: FALSE (for backwards compatibility)
Char (vector): Format passed to as.POSIXct()
(see strptime()
)
to convert the date/time column to POSIX time format.
If NULL, no conversion is performed (date stays a factor).
If NA, readDWD
tries to find a suitable format based
on the number of characters. DEFAULT: NA
Char (vector): time zone for as.POSIXct()
.
"" is the current time zone, and "GMT" is UTC (Universal Time,
Coordinated). DEFAULT: "GMT"
Suppress empty file warnings?
DEFAULT: FALSE through rdwdquiet()
