 \title{Convert a ranked path list to edge ids of a graph}
 \usage{
 getPathsAsEIDs(paths, graph)
 }
 \arguments{

 \item{paths}{The paths extracted by \code{\link{pathRanker}}.}

 \item{graph}{A annotated igraph object.}

 }
 \value{
 A list of edge ids on the provided graph.
 }
 \description{

 Convert a ranked path list to Edge ids of a graph, where paths can come from
 a different representation (for example matching path from a reaction network to
 edges on a metabolic network).

 }
 \examples{

 	## Prepare a weighted reaction network.

 	## Conver a metabolic network to a reaction network.
  data(ex_sbml) # bipartite metabolic network of Carbohydrate metabolism.
  rgraph <- makeReactionNetwork(ex_sbml, simplify=TRUE)
 
 	## Assign edge weights based on Affymetrix attributes and microarray dataset.
  # Calculate Pearson's correlation.
 	data(ex_microarray)	# Part of ALL dataset.
 	rgraph <- assignEdgeWeights(microarray = ex_microarray, graph = rgraph,

 		weight.method = "cor", use.attr="miriam.uniprot",

 		y=factor(colnames(ex_microarray)), bootstrap = FALSE)
 
 	## Get ranked paths using probabilistic shortest paths.

  ranked.p <- pathRanker(rgraph, method="prob.shortest.path",

 					K=20, minPathSize=6)

 	## Get the edge ids along paths in the reaction graph.
 	path.eids <- getPathsAsEIDs(ranked.p, rgraph)
 
 	## Get the edge ids along paths in the original metabolic graph.
 	path.eids <- getPathsAsEIDs(ranked.p, ex_sbml)
