[Tutor] R: Tutor Digest, Vol 138, Issue 26 Re: Problem on select esecution of object in a class (Alan Gauld)

[jarod_v6 at libero.it]

Thanks so much fro the help. What I want to do is to obtain a selection of the 
function I want to run.

ena = Rnaseq(options.configura, options.rst, options.outdir)
		cmdset = [ ena.trimmomatic,
					ena.star,
					ena.merge_trimmomatic_stats
				]
ena.show()
1 ena.trimmomatic
2 ena.star
3 ena.merge_trimmomatic_stats
The class RNaseq have multiple function. I want a way to run or from 1 to 3 or 
from 2 to 3 or only the 2 o 3 step.

...
	parser.add_option("-s", "--step",action="store", dest="steps",type="string",
help=" write input file: %prg -o : directory of results ")

python myscript -s 1,3 ...

At the moment the only way I found is this:
 for cmd in cmdset: 
		 	step = cmd()
		 	for i in step:
		 		print i.command
but is not elegant so I want to know more what is the right way to generate a 
execution f the function of the class by select which is the step we want to 
start.
