Returns smaller files with same file name and "_x" (where x is an integer). For example,
assume we have input file called "abc.fasta" with 100 entries and split_n = 50
. Function will
create two files called "abc_1.fasta" and "abc_2.fasta" in target_path
.
Usage
split_fasta(
path_input,
target_folder,
split_n = 500,
shuffle_entries = TRUE,
delete_input = FALSE
)
Examples
path_input <- tempfile(fileext = '.fasta')
create_dummy_data(file_path = path_input,
num_files = 1,
write_to_file_path = TRUE,
seq_length = 7,
num_seq = 25,
vocabulary = c("a", "c", "g", "t"))
target_folder <- tempfile()
dir.create(target_folder)
# split 25 entries into 5 files
split_fasta(path_input = path_input,
target_folder = target_folder,
split_n = 5)
length(list.files(target_folder))
#> [1] 5
