ifcb_replace_mat_values: Replace Values in MATLAB Classlist

Description

This function replaces a target class ID with a new ID in MATLAB classlist files, generated by the code in the ifcb-analysis repository (Sosik and Olson 2007).

Usage

ifcb_replace_mat_values(
  manual_folder,
  out_folder,
  target_id,
  new_id,
  column_index = 1,
  do_compression = TRUE
)

Value

This function does not return any value; it updates the classlist files in the specified directory.

Arguments

manual_folder

A character string specifying the path to the folder containing MAT classlist files to be updated.

out_folder

A character string specifying the path to the folder where updated MAT classlist files will be saved.

target_id

The target class ID to be replaced.

new_id

The new class ID to replace the target ID.

column_index
