Description

The pipeline parameters can be stored in a simple file, formatted as R code. The parametersFromFile function transforms them into a parameter list used by RaMWAS steps.

Usage

parametersFromFile(.parameterfile)

Arguments

Details

Variables with names starting with period (.) are ignored.

Value

Returns the list with all the variables set in the file.

Note

The file .parameterfile is executed as R code, so use only trusted parameter files.
