Subject: Reduce Control for Data Input Interfaces
To: nipy-devel at neuroimaging.scipy.org


Hello,

I have some data that I am attempting to run the HCP pipeline through.
Since my data does not conform to the BIDS data directory format I have to
run a modified version of the hcpre python package. Requirements for input
into the HCP pipeline shell scripts are individual strings such as base
directory, and subject number. Obviously I have had a hell of a time trying
to find a data input interface which allows this functionality, since
everyone that I have looked at (SelectFiles, DataGrabber) automatically
build the entire path to the subject's directory.

I suppose my inquiries are two-fold.

1) Is there an elegant way to split up output from the input interfaces so
I can have just the base directory or just the subject number?
2) Is there a way in which I can verify that a particular subject (or file)
exists within a base directory, but drop the base directory string leaving
only the file name or subject number?

Thanks!

-Tim
