Huh, not sure I understand your feedback. There is only 1 file that is 1 large dataframe. I want to execute the commands on each subject in the dataframe and ouput their respective files with the subject # and file type
appended (10_green.txt).

You named that file, paste(dat$Subject[[1]] plus a constant string. I assumed you meant to name a new file for each subject. And it still appears you wanted that. Your code won't give it to you because you are not using an argument to paste that is local to the inner loop. dat $Subject[[1]] will always be the same result.

Try instead something like:   paste(i, "red.txt", sep="_")

Or perhaps: paste(colr[1,"Subject"], "red.txt", sep="_") # since colr and colg will vary.

I also incorrectly parsed the paste function thinking that the append="red.txt" and "green.txt" were arguments to write.table's append argument. You can discard those comments from consideration.

Is a tab a legitimate character in your OS naming convention? Seems error-prone to me, but what do I know?

How would I do this loop index?

Each subject has multiple rows with columns as variables. Here is my

I am having problem executing it on each unique subject id (dat $Subject).


One problem that I see is that you are calling all of your files the same thing (i.e. overwriting earlier results. Why aren't you using the loop index
in the naming process?

(And aeppnd is a logical argument in write.table.)

?write.table
