Defines a GenericDataFileSet by searching for files in a directory

Description

Defines a GenericDataFileSet by searching for files in a directory.

Usage

## Static method (use this):
## GenericDataFileSet$byPath(path=NULL, pattern=NULL, private=FALSE, recursive=FALSE,
##   depth=0L, fileClass=getFileClass(static), ..., .validate=FALSE, verbose=FALSE)

## Don't use the below:
## S3 method for class 'GenericDataFileSet'
byPath(static, path=NULL, pattern=NULL, private=FALSE, recursive=FALSE, depth=0L,
  fileClass=getFileClass(static), ..., .validate=FALSE, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

path	The directory where to search for files.
pattern	The filename pattern for match files. If NULL, filename extensions corresponding to known subclasses of the abstract GenericDataFile class are search for.
private	If FALSE, files starting with a period are excluded, otherwise not.
recursive	If TRUE, subdirectories are search recursively, otherwise not.
...	Optional arguments passed to the constructor of the static (calling) class.

Value

Returns an GenericDataFileSet object.

Reserved filenames

Note that files with names starting with a period . are not searched for. Such files are considered "private" and have to be included explicitly, if wanted.
