\title{Write random sequences to fasta file}

\usage{

create_dummy_data(

  file_path,

  num_files,

  header = "header",

  seq_length,

  num_seq,

  fasta_name_start = "file",

  write_to_file_path = FALSE,

  prob = NULL,

  vocabulary = c("a", "c", "g", "t")

)

}

\arguments{

\item{file_path}{Output directory; can also be a file name but only possible if \code{write_to_file_path = TRUE} and

\code{num_files = 1}).}

\item{num_files}{Number of files to create.}

\item{header}{Fasta header name.}

\item{seq_length}{Length of one sequence. If vector longer than 1, will randomly sample from that vector.}

\item{num_seq}{Number of sequences per file.}

\item{fasta_name_start}{Beginning string of file name. Output files are named fasta_name_start + _i.fasta where i is an integer index.}

\item{write_to_file_path}{Whether to write output directly to \code{file_path}, i.e. file_path is not a directory.}

\item{prob}{Probability of each character in the \code{vocabulary} to be sampled. If \code{NULL} each character has same probability.}

\item{vocabulary}{Set of characters to sample sequences from.}

}

\value{

None. Writes data to files.

}

\description{

Create random sequences from predefined vocabulary and write to fasta file.

path_output <- tempfile()

dir.create(path_output)
