Pipeline Processing Example 4

This example assigns TAGS to files based on a specific naming convention for the files.

Consider files that have been named as follows and stored in the same disk folder:

c:\Visual3D\Data\subject#LMH_max.c3d

c:\Visual3D\Data\subject#RMH_max.c3d

c:\Visual3D\Data\subject#LVL_max.c3d

c:\Visual3D\Data\subject#RVL_max.c3d

c:\Visual3D\Data\subject#LTA_max.c3d

c:\Visual3D\Data\subject#RTA_max.c3d

where the capitalized 3 letter acronyms refer to a muscle EMG. The following TAGS should be assigned to the files:

LMH, RMH, LVL, RVL, LTA, RTA

The following pipeline will open the files and assign the appropriate TAGS.
