editDB {RSEIS} | R Documentation

## Edit Data Base

### Description

Edit, or remove items from an RSEIS data base after it has been read in.

### Usage

    editDB(DB, w)
    pathDB(DB,  path1="", path2="")

### Arguments

`DB` | RSEIS data base
`w` | vector of index items to remove
`path1` | character for old path
`path2` | character for new path to replace old path

### Details

The DB is a list. The program cycles through the elements of the list and removes all lnes that correspond to the idecies given in w.

### Value

Returns a DB list

### Note

A problem arises if the makeDB program reads in, or tries to read in files that have not data base header information. This program can eliminate these from the data base.
