\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.
