Package 'tableguess'

Extract a table from a character vector

Description

This is likely not the final form and/or name of this function. Right now it requires a character vector that has already been split by newlines, and some guidance on what to do. It does well once you tell it where to look, though.

Usage

extract_table(
  tbl_vctr = character(),
  merge_empty = TRUE,
  orientation = c("horizontal", "vertical")
)

Arguments

tbl_vctr	A character vector with one line of text per value.
merge_empty	Whether to merge empty cells together (by "row" then by "column").
orientation	Whether the data is laid out horizontally like a tidy table (variables = column names), or vertically (more like a list).

Value

A data.frame with the extracted table.
