ParseTotalEffects: Parse Total, Direct, and Indirect Effects
In PathSelectMP: Backwards Variable Selection for Paths using M Plus

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

read .out M Plus files to return total, indirect, and direct effect p-values and names of effects

1	ParseTotalEffects(OutFile, FileName, Directry)

`OutFile`	a read, scanned string of the .out M Plus file, see example
`FileName`	the name of the folder where the .out files are stored for backward selection
`Directry`	the working directory used to store the folders containing .out files

the Total effects and Total Indirect Effects results are returned reading IND statements output, and the Direct Effects results are returned by reading the Model ON statements

returns a list with the following objects:

`TotalPVals`	A list where each element is the p-value of the Total Effect found under Model Indirect IND statements
`INDPVals`	A list where each element is the p-value of the Total Indirect Effect found under Model Indirect IND statements
`INDNames`	A matrix where each row contains the names of the variables found under Model Indirect IND statements corresponding to the Total and Total Indirect p-values respectively
`DirectPVals`	A list where each element is the p-value of the Direct Effect found under Model created using ON statements
`DirectNames`	A matrix where each row contains the names of the variables found under Model ON statements corresponding to the Direct Effect p-values respectively

this function is a helper function used in AllBackwardSelect to determing which variable relations to delete
