Hello,

No I wasn't expecting a very large file.
Try to make a reproducible example. If the problem seems to be with the sapply/strsplit post a subset of the data like just some of the colnames:

colnames(meth)[1:10]


This would allow us to run the code you are having trouble with.


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

The result of dput(head(meth)) is a very large data table/listing of data by category of what I presume to be the data from the two TCGA .txt files I referenced previously. Is this the output you were expecting?

    Hello,

    1) That error comes from not closing }) after the paste() instruction.
    The complete statement would be


    colnames(meth) = sapply(colnames(meth), function(i){
        c1 = strsplit(i, split ='\\', fixed = T)[[1]]
        c1[4] = paste(strsplit(c1[4],split = "",fixed =
    T)[[1]][1:2],collapse
    =  "")
        paste(c1,collapse = ".")
    })


    2) Can you post the output of the following?

    dput(head(meth))


    Hope this helps,
