read.oce {oce} | R Documentation |
Read an oceanographic data file, auto-discovering the file type from the
first line of the file.
This function tries to infer the file type from the first line, using
oceMagic
. If it can be discovered, then an
instrument-specific file reading function is called, with the file
and with any additional arguments being supplied.
read.oce(file, ...)
file |
a connection or a character string giving the name of the file to load. |

An object of oce-class
that is
specialized to the data type, e.g. ctd-class
,
if the data file contains ctd
data.

The file type is determined by oceMagic
. If the file
type can be determined, then one of the following is called:
read.ctd
, read.coastline
read.lobo
, read.rsk
,
read.sealevel
, etc.
