For Loops to create different docx files with ReporteRs

[William8750]

I'm having some trouble with the creation of a for loop with ReporteRs. The problem: I have a folder with several .png figures. Every patients have 2 figures and I would like to create a docx document (from a template) for every patients, thus a word file with two figures side-by-side.

My solution (but it does not work as i would like): I create a list with the name of patients file

fl=c("Patient1.L2.png","Patient1.L5.png","Patient2.L2.png","Patient2.L5.png") file_names = c() for (i in 1:length(fl) { file_names[i] = list.files(pattern=fl[i]) }

file_names [1] "Patient1.L2.png" "Patient1.L5.png" "Patient2.L2.png" "Patient2.L5.png"

Then I tried to create a for loop but it does not work at all. I would like that it creats as much docx as the number of patients (so in my example two words file) where have in first file only Patient1 images and then only patient2 figures in another word document.

Is there a way? thank you to everyone who whill help

In the body of your for loop, you should:

1. create a docx object
2. Use addImage function twice, for each call provide argument filename (filename of image 1 and filename of image 2)
3. use writeDoc to generate the document for patient X.

ah yes of course!!!

Can you be more specific about what is the issue with ReporteRs? What error do you get? Do you have a reproducible example? Are you really facing an issue with ReporteRs or are you asking help for writing a for loop?
