Error in import... : could not find function "import"

[manleiva]

I have a problem with import function in ‘openair’ version 2.14
Xcode Version 14.2
R version 4.2.2
RStudio Versión 2022.12.0+353

The code give the problem is

FileAsHIS<-import("dis-As-qco-QNTIII.csv", file.type = "csv", sep = ";", na.strings=c("NA", "NV","NaN"), date = "Date")
Error in import("dis-As-qco-QNTIII.csv", file.type = "csv", sep = ";", : could not find function "import"

Some ideas?

Manuel

Hi Manuel,

import() was removed from openair in the most recent update; there are now so many tools provided in base R and extension packages (e.g., readr for reading data and lubridate for handling dates) that there wasn't cause to maintain import() any further.

However, you should be able to read in your data using purely Base R by using code along these lines:

# read data
data <-
  read.delim(file = "dis-As-qco-QNTIII.csv",
             sep = ";",
             na.strings = c("NA", "NV", "NaN"))

# format "Date" as date
data$Date <- as.POSIXct(data$Date, format = "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M") 

      dateCD                Date MES ANNO As As_ng
