     full.names=FALSE, recursive=FALSE, ignore.case=FALSE)

Value

A character vector of the desired subdirectories.

Arguments

path, all.files, full.names, recursive, ignore.case

as for dir

pattern, exclude

optional regular expressions of filenames to include or exclude, respectively.

Details

1. mainDir <- dir(...) without recurse

2. Use file.info to restrict mainDir to only directories.

3. If !recursive, return the restricted mainDir. Else, if length(mainDir) > 0, create dirList to hold the results of the recursion and call dirs for each component of mainDir. Then unlist and return the result.
