Search metadata values or field paths

Usage

glc_search_metadata(
  x,
  query,
  resources = NULL,
  fields = NULL,
  fixed = TRUE,
  ignore_case = TRUE,
  search_in = c("values", "fields", "both")
)

Arguments

x: A package opened with glc_open().
query: Text or regular expression to search for.
resources: Optional metadata resource names.
fields: Optional exact field names or complete field paths to include.
fixed: Treat query as fixed text rather than a regular expression.
ignore_case: Ignore letter case while matching.
search_in: Where to match query: scalar metadata "values", complete field paths "fields", or "both". The default is "values".

Value

A tibble of matching scalar metadata values and their field paths.

Details

Field searches return the same leaf-level rows as value searches. A field path that contains multiple scalar values therefore produces one row per value. The fields argument can be combined with any search_in mode to restrict which field paths are searched.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
iztech <- glc_open("tscnlab/melidos-iztech-glc-dataset")
glc_search_metadata(iztech, "Izmir", resources = "study")
}
