All,
I have a file named as so 313929BL4FNMA2432.rds the user may pass either the
first 9 character or the last six characters. I need to match the remainder of
the file name using either the first nine or last six. I have read the help
files for Regular Expression as used in R and I think what I want to use is
glob2rx.
I have worked a minimal example to test my code:
id <- "313929BL4FNMA2432.rds"
cusip <- "313929BL4"
poolnumm <- "FNMA2432"
paste(cusip, ".*", ".rds")
glob2rx(paste(cusip, ".*", ".rds"), trim.head = TRUE, trim.tail = TRUE)
This returns false which leads me to believe that it is not working
glob2rx(paste(cusip, ".*", ".rds"), trim.head = TRUE, trim.tail = TRUE) == id
I am going to use as follows in the function below - which returns the error
file not found
MBS_Test <- function(MBS.id = "character"){
MBS <- glob2rx(paste(MBS.id, ".*", "//.rds", sep = ""), trim.tail = TRUE)
MBS.Conn <- gzfile(description = paste(system.file(package = "BondLab"),
"/BondData/", MBS, sep = ""), open = "rb")
MBS <- readRDS(MBS.Conn)
on.exit(close.connection(MBS.Conn))
return(MBS)
}
Any help to get me in the right direction is appreciated - Glenn
