Hello,
I want the ouput to take the name of the original file. I have the
following code - but the problem is that the output overrides the
original file which I desire not.
So given an input file called File1.txt, I want the ouput to be
called File1.out.txt, or something along this line. I'm working with
many files, fyi.
out=c("file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file3.txt")
Take a look at this:
> paste(strsplit(out[1], "\\.")[[1]][1], "out.txt", sep=".")
[1] "file1.out.txt"
for (i in 1:3){ # where 3 is the number of files
file[[i]] <- file[[i]] * 3 # just a simple calculation to multiply
the matrix by 3
write.table(file[[i]],out[i], row.names=FALSE, col.names=FALSE)
perhaps something like this (untested in absence of data) :
write.table(file[[i]],file=paste(strsplit(out[i], "\\.")[[1]][1],
"out.txt", sep="."), row.names=FALSE, col.names=FALSE)
}
Thanks.
