searchColRow function

Check row identifier in a model for necessary properties.

This function is only meant for internal use by NMscanData.

searchColRow(
  file,
  file.mod = file.mod,
  dir.data,
  file.data,
  translate.input,
  formats.read,
  args.fread,
  col.id,
  tab.row
)

Arguments

• file: a .lst (output) or a .mod (input) control stream file. The filename does not need to end in .lst. It is recommended to use the output control stream because it reflects the model as it was run rather than how it is planned for next run. However, see file.mod and dir.data.
• file.mod: The input control stream file path. Default is to look for "file" with extension changed to .mod (PSN style). You can also supply the path to the file, or you can provide a function that translates the output file path to the input file path. If dir.data is missing, the input control stream is needed. This is because the .lst does not contain the path to the data file. The .mod file is only used for finding the data file. How to interpret the datafile is read from the .lst file. The default can be configured using NMdataConf. See dir.data too.
• dir.data: The data directory can only be read from the control stream (.mod) and not from the output file (.lst). So if you only have the output file, use dir.data to tell in which directory to find the data file. If dir.data is provided, the .mod file is not used at all.
• file.data: Specification of the data file path. When this is used, the control streams are not used at all.
• translate.input: If TRUE (default), data columns are named as interpreted by Nonmem (in $INPUT). If data file contains more columns than mentioned in$INPUT, these will be named as in data file (if data file contains named variables).
• args.fread: List of arguments passed to fread. Notice that except for "input" and "file", you need to supply all arguments to fread if you use this argument. Default values can be configured using NMdataConf.
• col.id: The name of the subject ID column. Optional and only used to calculate number of subjects in data. Default is modified by NMdataConf.
• tab.row: row-level data

Returns

A character message about the findings if any
