Hi,

I'm new to R and I'm developing a tool that can either (compare tables between 2 word documents in a like-for-like fashion) OR (compare 2 excel files)

What's the best way to create a universal config where a user can specify if they are comparing word docs or excel files, then specify the file paths to each file and specify an R vector which contains strings (I use this parameter for different things depending on whether it's a word or excel comparison)

The user should be able to easily create a config of some sort to specify a list of these parameters which I could then iterate over to produce these comparisons. Can this be done in yaml? If so how? Are there any other config formats that could suit this better ?

Any tips are greatly appreciated Thanks
