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

convert saved data sets' names in to a vector based on the order of numbers, which will be called by batch.read() function

1	convert.filenames(folder)

folder

the folder that stored all the model outputs, not a detailed filename

return a vector for each member is a path pointed to a filename (a model output), which can be called by batch.read() function

## The function is currently defined as

        pos.start <- unlist(gregexpr(paste(folder, "/out", sep = ""),
