That looks great. I got that example to work and I should be able to get what I need from it thank you!

We've helped different people going through this process a couple of times. However, as the format for the XLS or CSV or Db or ... is somewhat different each time, we haven't got a standardized tutorial or even function for it.

Typically, I write a Rmd template for the files I want to create and then fill it with the necessary information. Possibly rmarkdown::rmarkdown_convert() is leveraged for converting the text (e.g., in HTML) into Markdown. But I guess this is not necessary in your case.

Attached is a function that goes through a CSV file in a particular format and generates .Rmd files from it. If you want a demo CSV file in this format you can find it in this discussion (from which the code is also taken):

Hope that helps!

Are there any tutorials about creating the bank of questin files.

I have an XLS file that contains about 1000 multiple choice questions in a highly structured format. The images for each question are named systematically. I am comfortable with manipulating text with R. But, before I roll my own functions, I wondered if there were any want throughs on converting such a set of questions into the correct format for exams to use.

Thanks,
