Remove spaces in file names in a specified directory, replacing them with whatever you want, default nothing.

Usage

remove_filename_spaces(dir = ".", pattern = "", replacement = "")

Arguments

dir

The directory in which to perform the operation.

pattern

A regular expression. If specified, only files matching this pattern will be treated.

replacement

What do you want to replace the spaces with? This defaults to nothing, another sensible choice would be an underscore.

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
dir.create("RemoveFileNameSpaces_test")
setwd("RemoveFileNameSpaces_test")
files <- c("1litres 1.txt", "1litres 30.txt", "3litres 5.txt")
file.create(files)
remove_filename_spaces()
list.files()
setwd("..")
dir.remove("RemoveFileNameSpaces_test")
# }
