In climatol: Climate Tools (Series Homogenization and Derived Products)

Rename homogen's output files

Description

This function inserts a suffix to the output file names of homogen, to prevent them from being overwritten by any further run.

Usage

outrename(varcli, anyi, anyf, suffix, restore=FALSE)

Arguments

varcli	Short name of the studied climatic variable, as in the data file name.
anyi	Initial year of the study period.
anyf	Final year of the study period.
suffix	Suffix to be inserted (or removed) in the output file names.
restore	Set this parameter to TRUE to remove the suffix previously inserted by this function. (FALSE by default.

Details

The suffix is appended to the varcli after a hyphen. The purpose of this function is to allow a new application of homogen to the same data with different parameters without overwriting the previous results.

Examples

## Set a temporal working directory, write input files and homogenize them:
wd <- tempdir()
wd0 <- setwd(wd)
data(climatol_data)
write.table(Temp.est,'Temp_1961-2005.est',row.names=FALSE,col.names=FALSE)
write(Temp.dat,'Temp_1961-2005.dat',ncolumns=12)
datsubset('Temp',1961,2005,1991) #subset data to shorten example run time
homogen('Temp',1991,2005) #obtain homogenization output files

## Now run the example:
outrename('Temp',1991,2005,'bak') #rename them to avoid being overwritten

## Return to user's working directory:
setwd(wd0)

## Input and output files can be found in directory:
print(wd)
