Reads a text file, re-encodes it, and splits it into text lines.
[THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FUNCTION]
stri_read_lines(fname, encoding = "auto", locale = NA,
fallback_encoding = stri_enc_get())
single string with file name
single string; input encoding, "auto"
for automatic
detection with stri_enc_detect2
,
and NULL
or ""
for the current default encoding.
single string passed to stri_enc_detect2
;
NULL
or ""
for default locale,
NA
for checking just UTF-* family
single string; encoding to be used if encoding detection fails;
defaults to the current default encoding, see stri_enc_get
Returns a character vector, with each line of text being a single string. The output is always in UTF-8.
It is a substitute for the system's readLines
function,
with the ability to auto-detect input encodings (or to specify
one manually), re-encode input without any strange function calls
or sys options change,
and split the text into lines with stri_split_lines1
(which conforms with the Unicode guidelines for newline markers).
If locale
is NA
and auto-detection of UTF-32/16/8 fails,
then fallback_encoding
is used.
