read_entry {YAPSA} | R Documentation

## Read a single vcf-like file into a single data frame

### Description

Note: this function uses `read.csv` to read vcf-like files into data frames for single samples. As it uses `read.csv`, the default value for `comment.char` is "" and not "#" as it would have been for `read.table`.

### Usage

    read_entry(
      current_ind,
      in_list,
      header = TRUE,
      in_header = NULL,
      variant_type = "SNV",
      delete.char = NULL,
      ...
    )

    read_list(in_list, in_parallel = FALSE, header = TRUE, in_header = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`current_ind` | Index of the file to read from the list provided below.
`in_list` | List of paths to vcf-like file to be read. The list may be named.
`header` | Boolean whether a header information should be read (as in `read.table`)
`in_header` | Vector of column names to be substituted if non-NULL.
`variant_type` | Default is "SNV" and provides additional plausibility and checks, omitted if other string
`delete.char` | Character to be deleted, e.g. in order to discriminate between comment lines and header lines, if non-NULL
`...` | Parameters passed on to `read.table`
`in_parallel` | If multicore functionality is provided on a compute cluster, this option may be set to TRUE in order to enhance speed.

### Value

A vcf-like data frame

A list with entries:

- `vcf_like_df_list`: List of the read data frames

- `readVcf_time`: Object of class `proc_time`, which stores the time needed for reading in the data

### Examples

     NULL
