Write batch files to disk — write

Persists each element of a batch list as a standalone .R file containing an object named x. This allows parallel workers to safely read and process batches without contention for a shared .RDS file.

Usage

write_batches(batchfile, path = ".")

Arguments

batchfile: Named list where each element contains a vector (e.g., URLs or filenames) to be processed in one batch.
path: Directory in which to create the batches/ subfolder. Defaults to the current working directory.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. Files are created as a side effect.

Details

Each batch is written to a file named batches/<batchname>.R inside the specified path. The function uses purrr::iwalk() to iterate over the list, ensuring the batch name and data stay paired correctly.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
batches <- list(G01 = c("file1.xml", "file2.xml"),
                G02 = c("file3.xml", "file4.xml"))
write_batches(batches, path = "data/2021")
} # }
