file_merge: Vertically Merge Files in a Directory into a Single Large...
In ayalaallon/prepdat: Preparing Experimental Data for Statistical Analysis

Vertically concatenates files containing data tables in a long format into a single large dataset. In order for the function to work, all files you wish to merge should be in the same format (either txt or csv). This function is very useful for concatenating raw data files of individual subjects in an experiment (in which each line corresponds to a single observation in the experiment) to one raw data file that includes all subjects.

file_merge(
           folder_path = NULL
           , has_header = TRUE
           , new_header = c()
           , raw_file_name = NULL
           , raw_file_extension = NULL
           , file_name = "dataset.txt"
           , save_table = TRUE
           , dir_save_table = NULL
           , notification = TRUE
          )

`folder_path`	A string with the path of the folder in which files to be merged are searched. Search is recursive (i.e., can search also in subdirectories). `folder_path` must be provided. Default is `NULL`.
`has_header`	Logical. If `TRUE`, the function takes the first line of the first file found as the header of the merged table. Default is `TRUE`.
`new_header`	String vector with names for columns of the merged table. Default is `c()`. If used, `new_header` should be the same length as the number of columns in the merged table.
`raw_file_name`	A string with the name of the files to be searched and then merged. File extension should NOT be included here (see `raw_file_extension`). `raw_file_name` must be provided. Default is `NULL`.
`raw_file_extension`	A string with the format of the files (i.e., `csv` or `txt`) to be merged. `raw_file_extension` must be provided. Default is `NULL`.
`file_name`	A string with the name of the file of the merged table the function creates in case `save_table` is `TRUE`. Extension of the the file can be txt or csv and should be included. Default is `"dataset.txt"`.
`save_table`	Logical. If `TRUE`, saves the merged table. Default is `TRUE`.
`dir_save_table`	A string with the path of the folder in which the merged table is saved in case `save_table` is `TRUE`. Default is the path provided in `folder_path`.
`notification`	Logical. If `TRUE`, prints messages about the progress of the function. Default is `TRUE`.
