Hello Everyone
I have an R script (and a source file which I keep my functions) that I need to run on 70 data sets (each consisting of a pair of files).
I wish to run these data sets in a computer cluster that is run by my uni (HOWEVER they cannot help me with this problem but say it is do-able)
the cluster is clever enough that if i set my data up as follows: within one folder called 'work' there is 70 subfolders each of which contain a pair of files, each pair of files having a unique first part eg CottonEA05 as in the example text below)
then if I have one R script to run the analysis within the main folder, it will open each subfolder, run the R script and output the results into that subfolder.
The problem is that this script for R needs to have some kind of wild card element so for example in the script below, R will replace CottonEA05 with the whatever the unique identifier is for the particular subfolder its looking through eg change it to Martin_M_STAGE.txt or bananas_M_STAGE.txt etc
Can R do this? ie can it look a file title, and change the file name within the script to be the same as that file title, and then run the analysis
OR do I have to use another programme that does that? ### m<-read.table("CottonEA05_M_STAGE.txt") #"CottonEA05" what is different for each dataset M<-as.matrix(m[,-c(1)]) rownames(M)<-(m[,1]) pa<-read.table("CottonEA05_D_STAGE.txt",header=T) timetable<-read.table("TimeBinLookup.txt",header=T,sep="\t") PA<-as.matrix(pa[,-c(1)]) rownames(PA)<-(pa[,1]) OCHAR<-c() source("DISPARITY.R") library(calibrate) ### Thanks Martin -- Martin Hughes MPhil/PhD Research in Biology Rm 1.07, 4south University of Bath Department of Biology and Biochemistry Claverton Bath BA2 7AY Tel: 01225 385 437 m.hug...@bath.ac.uk http://www.bath.ac.uk/bio-sci/biodiversity-lab/hughes.html ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
