In wltcwpf/RCTC: The Rotated Combination of Two-Component Ground Motions

A Function for Renaming Paired Ground Motions Files and Placed into A New Directory

Description

This function changes filenames into standard forms that can be read by IMplot. This operation is not required for the "ngaw2" and "nga" data type (data downloaded from PEER) or if users manually rename data files as instructed in the report. This function transfers data file names into standard names: Station name_x_H1 and Station name_x_H2, while the number x represents sensor number to identify ground motions from different sensors in case of multiple sensors at the same station. For example there are two pairs of ground motions recorded at station LA-BH, then the standardized filenames of the first pair of ground motions are LA-BH_1_H1 and LA-BH_1_H2, the standardized filenames of the second pair of ground motions are LA-BH_2_H1 and LA-BH_2_H2.

Usage

nametransfer(filedir1, filedir2, stationname, sn = 1, outputdir)

Arguments

filedir1	The file path (directory + filename) of the first horizontal component of ground motions.
filedir2	The file path (directory + filename) of the second horizontal component of ground motions. Set it as 'null' if two horizontal components of ground motions are in one file
stationname	The station name, a string
sn	Sensor number, default value is 1. If there is more than one sensor at the station, please enter 2,3,... and so on to identify
outputdir	The directory of output folder where the renamed files will be placed. It can be the Inputdata folder.

Examples

nametransfer(filedir1 = '/Users/PFW/Desktop/RCTC/20160101231556A1', filedir2 = '/Users/PFW/Desktop/RCTC/20160101231556A2', stationname = 'LA-BH', sn = 1, outputdir = '/Users/PFW/Desktop/RCTC/Inputdata')
