This function scans all the files within a FATE simulation folder to find a specific pattern and replace it with a new one

.setPattern(
  name.simulation,
  opt.name.file = NULL,
  pattern.tofind,
  pattern.toreplace
)

Arguments

name.simulation

a string corresponding to the main directory or simulation name of the FATE simulation

opt.name.file

(optional)
a string corresponding to the complete or partial name of the file in which to search and change the pattern

pattern.tofind

a string corresponding to the pattern to find

pattern.toreplace

a string corresponding to the pattern to replace
