Hi Guys I am trying to read a bunch of files in the loop but pipe function which I use to cut few columns is somehow unable to interpolate the file variable.
eg: > file="check.txt" > data <- read.table(pipe("cut -f 2,3 file"), sep="\t", > col.names=c('pos','cov') ) cut: file: No such file or directory how can I pass variable file to pipe so that it can be interpolated. Thanks! -Abhi ______________________________________________ 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.
