Automate data substitution in a data frame










0















I am reading a tab-separated .txt file with two fields of data (V1 and V2) into RStudio using read.table



 V1 V2
Ndepmax 3000
intx 6
Sdepmax 3000
inty 6


This .txt file contains a list of parameter values that will be used as input to an .exe that will be run from RStudio using the system() command available in base R



I would like to iterate running this .exe with different values for Ndepmax



I am planning to pull the values for Ndepmax from another data table by looping through a list of spec_num values and using the vlookup command from the expss package



maxNdep <- vlookup(spec_num, MinMaxNdep, result_column='NDEP30_max')


I have not been able to determine how to take these iterative values of maxNdep and use them to replace the value for Ndepmax in the input file that will be passed to the .exe using system()



Any advice for how to accomplish this substitution would be very much appreciated.



EDIT: Further code/clarification is included below...



# Input parameter file to use for building the string for "clf_cmd"
in_file = read.table("input.txt")
head(in_file, 4)
V1 V2
1 Ndepmax 3000
2 intx 6
3 Sdepmax 3000
4 inty 6

# File containing min/max Ndep
MinMaxNdep = read.table(MinMaxNdep, header = TRUE)
head (MinMaxNdep, 1)
SPNUM NDEP30_min NDEP30_max
1 33786 12.7265 22.7265

# Identify species of interest
# I will ultimately loop through a set of spec_num values, but just starting with a single species for now
spec_num <- MinMaxNdep$SPNUM[1]

# Define maxNdep value to use for substitution into `in_file`
library(expss)
maxNdep <- vlookup(spec_num, MinMaxNdep, result_column='NDEP30_max')

# Substitute value of maxNdep for the value of Ndepmax included in the `in_file` data frame
# Not sure how to do this???
# Need to replace the value of 3000 for Ndepmax in the `in_file` data frame with the maxNdep value included in `MinMaxNdep` for spec_num = 33786

# string passed to cmd line for running the .exe
clf <- system((paste0("clf i:in_file", spec_num, ".in"))

  • It is note exactly clear what you want. Please make a minimal reproducible example: share impute files, show your R code running with those files and describe more clearly what the problem is.

  • Ok, I will try to do so, but it may take me a bit. In the meantime, it would be great it anyone can decipher and provide guidance.

  • I essentially need to iteratively replace the current value of 3000 for Ndepmax with values from another data table (named MinMaxNdep)...working on better describing my code/question...
