Usage

Overview

combinesummaries is a combination tool for GNU R data files: it creates a single data table from multiple input files. CombineSummaries supports on-the-fly BZip2 compression. After startup, the program accepts the following commands from standard input (*not* as command-line arguments!):

--values=Values

Sets the values of the output variables for the next input file to the provided space-separated values. One value for each variable has to be provided.

--input=Filename

Process the given input file.

--simulationdirectory=Directory

Sets the directory where to find the input files.

Arguments

The following arguments may be provided:

Output File

The name of the output file to be created.

Var Names

A space-separated list of output variable names to be added to the output data tables.

-quiet

Do not print verbose status information.

Examples

Consider two data tables v1.data.bz2 (created with ParameterY=Alpha) and v2.data.bz2 (created with ParameterY=Beta). The output data table should be written to output.data.bz2.
( echo "--values=\"Alpha\"" && \
echo "--input=v1.data.bz2" && \
echo "--values=\"Beta\"" && \
echo "--input=v2.data.bz2" ) | combinesummaries output.data.bz2 "ParameterY"
