Merging *NIX and magrittr pipelines

upipe() is a modification of R's system() command designed for integration into magrittr / dplyr pipelines.

Install

install.packages(devtools)
install_github('noamross/upipe')

Usage

library(upipe)
upipe(list.files(), 'grep R')
list.files() %>% upipe('grep R')

upipe has methods for specific object types. By default, it converts inputs to chracter. It converts data.frames to CSV.

mtcars %>% upipe('grep Toyota')
1:30 %>% upipe('grep 3')

Suggestions and contributions for other methods are welcome.

Thanks

• Vince Buffalo for the concept and name
