delete_files_plink {genio}

Delete all Plink binary files

Description

This function deletes each of the Plink binary files (bed, bim, fam extensions) given the shared base file path, warning if any of the files did not exist or if any were not successfully deleted.

Usage

delete_files_plink(file)

Arguments

file

The shared file path (excluding extensions: bed, bim, fam).

Value

Nothing

Examples

# if you want to delete "data.bed", "data.bim" and "data.fam", run like this:
# delete_files_plink("data")

# The following example is more awkward
# because (only for these examples) the package must create *temporary* files to actually delete

# create dummy BED/BIM/FAM files
file <- tempfile('delete-me-test') # no extension
# add each extension and create empty files
file.create( paste0(file, '.bed') )
file.create( paste0(file, '.bim') )
file.create( paste0(file, '.fam') )

# delete the BED/BIM/FAM files we just created
delete_files_plink(file)
