How can I extract all the code (chunks) from an RMarkdown (.Rmd) file and dump them into a plain R script?
Basically I wanted to do the complementary operation described in this question, which uses chunk options to pull out just the text (i.e. non-code) portion of the Rmd.
So concretely I would want to go from an Rmd file like the following
---
title: "My RMarkdown Report"
author: "John Appleseed"
date: "19/02/2022"
output: html_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
## R Markdown
Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents.
For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.
Some text description here.
```{r cars}
a = 1
print(a)
summary(cars)
```
## Including Plots
You can also embed plots, for example:
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```
Some more comments here.
To an R script containing just the code portions of the above, as the following:
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
a = 1
print(a)
summary(cars)
plot(pressure)
CodePudding user response:
You could use knitr::purl
, see convert Markdown to R script :
knitr::purl(input = "Report.Rmd", output = "Report.R",documentation = 0)
gives Report.R
:
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
a = 1
print(a)
summary(cars)
plot(pressure)
CodePudding user response:
Another way is to set the purl
hook in your Rmd
:
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::knit_hooks$set(purl = knitr::hook_purl)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
Then the R script is generated when you knit. You can exclude some chunks with the chunk option purl = FALSE
.
