hello everybody,
I have a directory with over 3000 files with different names. I would like
to make some vectors with the file names which are belong together.
I'm trying to do it with a for loop in R:
SF <- c("ad", "cd", "cer", "stress", "salty", "PC", "high", "transfer",
"cold", "heat") # the pattern to look for
names(SF) <- as.vector(SF)
for (i in 1:length(SF)){
write(names(SF)[i], "")
for (j in 1:length(SF))
{list[j] <- grep(names(SF)[j], list.files(),value=TRUE)
#character vector with the specified stress factor
}
}
but all I'm getting is this
Error in list[j] <- grep(names(SF)[j], list.files(), value = TRUE) :
object of type 'builtin' is not subsettable
I would like the loop to make in each round a list of the files with the
pattern in the directory I'm looking in.
what am i doing wrong?
If I doing it for each element I'm getting the correct list.
THX for the help
Best Regards
Assa Yeroslaviz
