Retrieve a Format from the Library — format

Returns a format or invalue object by name. Used when you need the object (e.g. for fput_df or fexport) rather than applying by name with fput, fputn, or fputc.

Usage

format_get(name)

Arguments

name: Character. Name of a registered format or invalue.

Value

A ks_format or ks_invalue object.

Examples

fnew("M" = "Male", "F" = "Female", name = "sex")
sex_fmt <- format_get("sex")
fput_df(data.frame(sex = c("M", "F")), sex = sex_fmt)
#>   sex sex_fmt
#> 1   M    Male
#> 2   F  Female
fclear()
#> All formats cleared from library.
