Description Usage Arguments Value See Also

makeFilePath uses information about file paths from a project configuration object, in conjunction with a sample name and how to deal with subfolder(s), to create a path to the output file that's known to the project for the sample indicated by sampleName, and that corresponds to a particular type/format (e.g., as generated by a particular pipeline).

1	makeFilePath(base, sampleName, subdir, extension, suffix = NULL)

`base`	Project configuration object (environment- or list-like), from which the parent folder is derived. Alternatively, an actual path to a parent folder.
`sampleName`	Name for the sample for which to create filepath.
`subdir`	What to assume about the project's folder structure. If a Boolean value, this indicates whether the expectation is for the file to live within a results subfolder named with the `sampleName`. If a string, this indicates the actual name of the subfolder within the project's results folder. If a function, it should accept `sampleName` and the derive a name for the appropriate subfolder that way.
`suffix`	Text to place between the sample name and the extension. The default is no suffix, which will also result from an argument that's empty, `NULL`, or `FALSE`.

Path expected for file for the project defined by base and the sample indicated by sampleName. The correspondence with file type/format is captured by the subdir and extension specifications.
