Import Gridsuite data files.
Arguments
- file
Filename including path if file is not in current working directory. File can also be a complete URL. The fileformat is .dat.
- dir
Alternative way to supply the directory where the file is located (default
NULL).
Value
A single repgrid object in case one file and
a list of repgrid objects in case multiple files are imported.
Note
The developers of Gridsuite have proposed to use an XML scheme as a standard exchange format for repertory grid data (Walter, Bacher & Fromm, 2004).
TODO: The element and construct IDs are not used yet. Thus, if the output should be in different order the current mechanism will cause false assignments.

Examples
if (FALSE) {
# supposing that the data file gridsuite.xml is in the current directory
file <- "gridsuite.xml"
rg <- importGridsuite(file)
# specifying a directory (arbitrary example directory)
dir <- "/Users/markheckmann/data"
rg <- importGridsuite(file, dir)
# using a full path
rg <- importGridsuite("/Users/markheckmann/data/gridsuite.xml")
