Hi Steve et al;.

I am exploring ways to use UCINET with multiple ego networks. The task is to take a set egonet datasets, calculate cohesion measures for each one, then join the (single column) output files into one dataset on which I can then run univariate statistics.

I am working with the CLI interface.

forfiles works for the cohesion measures //forfiles AANetSoc_* $$-coh = cohesion($$)

?

Joincols requires each new file name (-coh) to be entered manually (Browse and select). Not practical for any large of egonets.

?

Once the joined dataset is created one can use Univariate stats to analyse further.

?

I have tried a variety of ways to find a way to run the joincols function on the AANetSoc_* -coh files, without any success. I think my optimum procedure would be to use ? wildcards within the joincols function. (join = joincols(AANetSoc_??????-coh). The joincols function does not recognize wildcards (* or ?) however.

[Incidentally, I can't get the ? wildcard to work for forfiles procedure either.]

?

Any suggestions please. (I attach my 3 egonet datasets.)

Hi, sorry not to have seen this earlier. So, the menu option Data|Join|Columns has a browse button that lets you select multiple files at once. Does that solve your problem?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for looking at this.

The problem is that forfiles drops the output files into the same folder as the source files - like this.

Thus to use the join procedure one has to go through the whole list selecting every second (-COH) files. Very tedious and not good for a large number of egonets.

?

I have tried several ways of getting around this: e.g.

- Having the forfiles output with an prefix (Coh-) - No success.

- Incorporating a wildcard in the join command, after setting all IDs to six spaces, [join(AANetSoc_??????-COH)]

it didn't work.

BTW I also checked to see if the ? wildcard would work in place of the * wildcard in the forfiles procedure. It did not. SO there is something amiss there.

?

The optimum procedure would be to have the forfiles output go into a separate folder from the source files. I do this when doing analyses in the gui. Is it possible to do in a CLI command?
