Usage

ImportCDs(x)

x

the CD3 file path

Author

Details

The CD3 files downloaded from the FEH webserver are formatted differently from the CD3 files of the peak flows dataset, this function is coded to import either, given the correct file path. File paths for importing data require forward slashes. On some operating systems, such as windows, the copy and pasted file paths will have backward slashes and would need to be changed accordingly.

Examples

#Import catchment descriptors from a NRFA peakflows CD3 file and display in console
if (FALSE) CDs.4003 <- ImportCDs("C:/Data/NRFAPeakFlow_v9/Suitable for QMED/4003.CD3", web = FALSE)
if (FALSE) CDs.4003
#Import catchment descriptors from a FEH webserver CD3 file and display CDs in the console
if (FALSE) CDs.MySite <- ImportCDs("C:/Data/FEH_Catchment_384200_458200.CD3")
