How can I paste file names from a list into the first two lines of a text document?
list <- c("1234.csv", "4567.csv", "1212.csv")
I have a .txt document that is five lines of text. I want to paste the first .csv name to the end of the first and second lines of the text file, save the file, and then repeat the process with element #2 (4567.csv) and so on. The name of the text file doesn't need to change. I'm just trying something.
Imagine the text file looks like this:
input c:userspersondesktopfolder...... #paste 1234.csv in this folder
output c:userspersondesktopfolder..... #paste 1234.csv again
another line that is irrelevant
yet another irrelevant line
I don't know what I'm doing. I tried to get a start by trying to paste each iteration in separate variables and then joining them together with the body after.
flist <- paste0(list, ".k", sep = "")
input <- paste('input "c:userspersondesktopfolder"', flist[i])
output <- paste('output "c:userspersondesktopfolder"', flist[i])
r paste

You would need to show your effort. What have you tried so far?
