Hi,
I am working with the following list of files:
[1] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1"
[2] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1_info"
[3] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1_info_by_sample"
[4] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1_summary"
[5] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1_warnings"
The folder has many other files. I am trying to use gsub to give me just this file: study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1
With Uwe's help I have tried the following:
fls <- list.files(pattern="^study") # which gives me the list above.
ufls <- unique(gsub("(_.*)_.*", "\\1", fls)) # which outputs
[1] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1"
[2] "study_chr1.one.phased.impute2.chunk1_info_by"
I just want the file under [1] but can't seem to figure it out at this moment. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Debs
