phenoDataFromPaths {xcms} | R Documentation

## Derive experimental design from file paths

### Description

The `phenoDataFromPaths` function builds a `data.frame` representing the experimental design from the folder structure in which the files of the experiment are located.

### Usage

    phenoDataFromPaths(paths)

### Arguments

`paths` | `character` representing the file names (including the full path) of the experiment's files.

### Note

This function is used by the old `xcmsSet` function to guess the experimental design (i.e. group assignment of the files) from the folders in which the files of the experiment can be found.

### Examples

    ## List the files available in the faahKO package
    base_dir <- system.file("cdf", package = "faahKO")
    cdf_files <- list.files(base_dir, recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
