listDirectory

From R.utils v2.0.0 by Henrik Bengtsson

Gets the file names in the directory

Gets the file names in the directory.

Contrary to list.files(), this method guarantees to work recursively. Moreover, when subdirectories are processed recursively, directory names are also returned.

Keywords: programming, IO

Usage

## S3 method for class 'default':
listDirectory(path=".", pattern=NULL, recursive=FALSE, allNames=FALSE, fullNames=FALSE,
  ...)

Arguments

path: A path to be listed.
pattern: A character string of the filename pattern passed. See list.files() for more details.
recursive: If TRUE, subdirectories are recursively processed, and not if FALSE. Alternatively, the maximum recursive depth can be specified as
allNames: If TRUE, also files starting with a period are returned.
fullNames: If TRUE, the full path names are returned.
...: Not used.

Value

Returns a vector of file names.

Recursive searching
