Combine output files¶

The xcpEgine provides a standalone script that help users to assemble results from each subject and combine to a single file for further analysis in any other platform such as Excel, MATLAB or SPSS. There is ${XCPEDIR}/utils/combineOutput that combine inidcated file from all the subject in the output directory. This can be very important to assemble especially quality control file (/{prefix}_quality.csv) and roiquant outputs

${XCPEDIR}/utils/combineOutput \
-p $outputdir  \  # all subjects directory  after running xcpEngine
-f "*quality.csv" \  # the extention of the file users want to combine
-o XCP_QAVARS.csv  # the output file in csv

The output file will consist of the header and the all subjects correposnding value:
