irace (version 3.5)

buildCommandLine: Generate a command-line representation of a configuration

Description

buildCommandLine receives two vectors, one containing the values of the parameters, the other containing the switches of the parameters. It builds a string with the switches and the values that can be used as a command line to call the program to be tuned, thus generating one candidate configuration.

Usage

buildCommandLine(values, switches)

Value

A string concatenating each element of switches and values for all parameters with a space between each pair of parameters (but none between the switches and the corresponding values).

Arguments

values

A vector containing the value of each parameter for the candidate configuration.

switches

A vector containing the switches of each paramter (in an order that corresponds to the values vector).

Examples

switches <- c("--switch1 ", "--switch2 ")
values <- c("value_1", "value_2")
buildCommandLine (values, switches)
## Build a command-line from the results produced by a previous run of irace.
# First, load the data produced by irace.

load(irace.logfile)
allConfigurations <- iraceResults$allConfigurations
parameters <- iraceResults$parameters

      unlist(parameters$switches))
