it did help to create the separate vectors. The problem is, I would like
to continue working with each vector on its own and make some further
analysis.
For that i need to allocate each vector in the filePatterns a unique name,
which I just can't do.
I'm not so great in R loops and the help over the net regards for loops in
R is quite rare.
I'm really thankful for every help.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

FW: [R] R loops
Hi Assa,
I happened to have some code on my screen that does exactly what you
want:
myDir <- "D:\\Temp"
allFiles <- list.files(myDir)
somePatterns <- c("xls", "csv", "sas7bdat")
filePatterns <- lapply(somePatterns, function(pat, files)
files[grep(pat, files)], files=allFiles)
cat(paste("\n", somePatterns, ": ", sapply(filePatterns,
paste,
collapse=", "), sep=""))
Hope this helps,
Rich.

Subject: [R] R loops
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
