Examples of common import/create calls are provided below.
It is convenient to set up one or more import directory paths up front. For example:
string $importDir= $home + "/V1/primaryData"
Specifying data directly through a parameter
hhVehOwnRelProp_hhs[hhs] = import (; data="1.03 2.01 2.32 2.38 2.41 2.41 2.31")
csv file
This is an example of importing into a very simple mask variable, zoneMask[z], indexed by a single pre-defined informant, zone. Here is the top of the source data file zonesMask.csv:
"zone","maskValue" 201,1 202,1 211,0 212,1 213,0 214,1 . . .
And here is the code:
zoneMask[z] = import (; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, \ allCoord=on, delimiter=",", firstLine=2, \ file=$importDir/zonesMask.csv)
Note:
- the use of the firstLine=2 parameter to skip over the header row
- no element name modification is required
Alternatively one may use the heading parameter to skip over the first line:
zoneMask[z] = import (; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, \
allCoord=on, delimiter=",", heading=on, \
file=$importDir/zonesMask.csv)
TOOL file
USUseComByInd_19982008[com_du,indio_du,t_19982008] = import (; \ format=tool, dataFile=$importDir_ind/USUseComByInd_19982008)
