Hi,
When I run PLINK, I always have this error message: No file (XXX.ped) exists.
However, the file exists (of course) and is located at the same place as PLINK on my computer. The software has to be in C://Windows to work so I put the files at the same place.
Any ideas why PLINK can't find the files?
Thanks!
That seems to be an odd restriction (c:\windows part). Are you sure about that? Have you tried adding ./ (or .\ ) before input file name?
What is the full command you used? And what is the full output? Any special characters in the ped filename (e.g., spaces)?
Try defining a function path='path to the file', and when you run Plink, type: plink --bfile $path/file --make-bed --out outputname
