METHODS

from_csv

    from_csv($file, :$header=true, :$sep=',', :$quote='"',

             Map[Str, DataType] :$dtype={},
             :$strings_as_factors=false)

Create a data frame object from a CSV file. For example,

    my $df = Data::Frame->from_csv("foo.csv");

Some of the parameters are explained below,

  • $file can be a file name string, a Path::Tiny object, or an opened file

    handle.

  • $dtype is a hashref associating column names to their types. Types

    can be the PDL type names like "long", "double", or names of some PDL's derived class like "PDL::SV", "PDL::Factor", "PDL::DateTime". If a column is not specified in $dtype, its type would be automatically decided.

to_csv

    to_csv($file, :$sep=',', :$quote='"', :$na='NA',
           :$col_names=true, :$row_names=true)
