[R] Help batch saving elements of a list into unique files

[Christian T Stackhouse (Campus)]

Hello!


The overall goal I have is taking a large data frame and splitting it into several smaller data frames (preserving column headers) which I can save as txt files to feed into my APACHE ANY23 server for conversion into RDF.


This is what I call to split up the original file:


out <- split(affymetrix, (seq(nrow(affymetrix))-1) %/% 140)


I have a list (out) of length 187 for which each element is a dataframe. I want to iteratively save each data frame as a separate tab file with a naming structure such as: affymetrix1.txt, affymetrix2.txt, ... affymetrix187.txt


Before that, I need to modify the headers to remove a prefix "X0. , X1., ... X187." that was introduced during my original splitting. I need to remove all characters before and including the first "."


If anyone has a better way of doing this, please let me know. Otherwise, help with how to perform batch editing of the headers and batch saving of the files would be greatly appreciated!
