Hi, I have a list of files in one of my working directories:
"chr17.chunk1.dose.fvd" "chr17.chunk1.dose.fvi" "chr17.chunk1.prob.fvd" "chr17.chunk1.prob.fvi" ........... ......... ........ "chr17.chunk10.dose.fvd" "chr17.chunk10.dose.fvi" "chr17.chunk10.prob.fvd" "chr17.chunk10.prob.fvi" And I am using the *.dose files to convert the data into a text file. For a singlefile, the following works: chr17chunk1dose <- databel("chr17.chunk1.dose") databel2text(databel=chr17chunk1dose, file="chr1_chunk1.dose.txt", NAString="NA", row.names=TRUE, col.names=TRUE, transpose=FALSE) I am trying to do the conversion inside a loop for all the files at a time but can't figure out how to do it. Any hep is appreciated. #### I am trying something like this: flies <- list.files(pattern="dose") for(i in files){ dose <- databel(i)[[1]] databel2text <- (databel = dose, file="chr17_chunk1.dose.txt", NAString="NA", row.names=TRUE, col.names=TRUE, transpose=FALSE) } ######## Thanks, Debs ______________________________________________ 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.
