NMupdateSizes function

Create or update $SIZES in a control stream

Update $SIZES parameters in a control stream. The control stream can be in a file or provided as a character vector (file lines).

NMupdateSizes(
  file.mod = NULL,
  newfile,
  lines = NULL,
  wipe = FALSE,
  write = !is.null(newfile),
  ...
)

Arguments

• file.mod: A path to a control stream. See also alternative lines argument. Notice, if write is TRUE (default) and newfile is not provided, file.mod will be overwritten.
• newfile: An optional path to write the resulting control stream to. If nothing is provided, the default is to overwrite file.mod.
• lines: Control stream lines as a character vector. If you already read the control stream - say using NMdata::NMreadSection(), use this to modify the text lines.
• wipe: The default behavior (wipe=FALSE) is to add the $SIZES values to any existing values found. If SIZES parameter names are overlapping with existing, the values will be updated. If wipe=TRUE, any existing $SIZES section is disregarded.
• write: Write results to newfile?
• ...: The $SIZES parameters. Provided anything, like PD=40 See examples.

Returns

Character lines with updated control stream

Examples

## No existing SIZES in control stream
## Not run:

file.mod <- system.file("examples/nonmem/xgxr032.mod",package="NMsim")
NMupdateSizes(file.mod,LTV=50,write=FALSE)
## End(Not run)

## This controls stream has existing SIZES
## Not run:

file.mod <- system.file("examples/nonmem/xgxr134.mod",package="NMsim")
NMupdateSizes(file.mod,LTV=50,write=FALSE)
## End(Not run)

## provide control stream as text lines
## Not run:

file.mod <- system.file("examples/nonmem/xgxr032.mod",package="NMsim")
lines <- readLines(file.mod)
NMupdateSizes(lines=lines,LTV=50,write=FALSE)
## End(Not run)
