Hoi All, I am trying to append collums to a data frame in a for loop. I read in tables, do some processing and then write the result to a data.frame. But, the thing I want is, that the results are appended to the data frame in stead of overwriting the results of the prevous table. It has to look something like this:
After going trough the loop once: Array 1 1 2 3 4 5 After going trough the loop twice: Array 1 Array 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 After going trough the loop three times: Array 1 Array 2 Array 3 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 This is my code: setwd("J:/Stage/Datasets2/Datasets/outData") masterTable<-read.table("AR1000900A_N_241110_(Mapping250K_Nsp)_2,Mapping250K_Nsp,CNprobes.tab _SNP_IDs.xls",sep="\t", dec=",", fill=T, header=T) masterTable<-data.frame(masterTable) fileNames<-list.files(getwd(), pattern='_0,5 -0,51.xls') regionMatchABCDE<-data.frame() for(i in 1:5) { fileName <- fileNames[i] newFile <- file.path(getwd(), paste(fileNames[i], "samen_0,5 -0,51.xls")) snpidFile<-read.table(fileNames[i],sep="\t", dec=",", fill=T, header=T) snpidFile<-data.frame(snpidFile) regionMatch<-cbind(masterTable, masterTable[match(masterTable$Pos, snpidFile$Pos),]) regionMatchABCDE<-cbind(regionMatch[,10:18]) } write.table(regionMatchABCDE, file= "Array 0-1-2-3-4-5.xls", col.names=T, row.names=F, quote=F, sep = "\t") Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/appending-collums-in-for-loop-tp3393445p3393445.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
