Dear all:

Any suggestions are much appreciated. I am looking for a way to make a
series of similar, but slightly modified, .r files.

My issue is automating making 320 .r files that change the for(i in 1:x) in
my base .r file (as well as other elements, e.g., the load(...),
setwd(...)). For smaller jobs running on a single computer with batch files,
I have been manually changing the for(i in 1:x) line, etc..

Why does this matter to me? I am planning on running a simulation experiment
on a linux cluster as a serial job. Although not elegant, it has been
suggested I make 320 .r files so qsub runs one .r file and then selects
other jobs. Thus, the manual route I am currently using would take a very
long time (given multiple runs of 320 .r files, given experimental
replication).

Thank you,
Laura
