Check Whether Files are Current

Description

I sometimes produce a couple of files by some kind of process and need to check whether they are fairly current and probably product of the same run. So I need to know whether a bunch of files was modified within the last, say, 7 days and that their modification dates do not differ by more than, say, 24 hours.

Usage

is_files_current(
  ...,
  newer_than = 1,
  units = "week",
  within = 1,
  within_units = "days"
)

Arguments

...	File paths.
newer_than	The number of units the files need to be newer than.
units	The unit of newer_than. See difftime.
within	The number of units the files need to be modified within.
within_units	The unit of within. See difftime.

Value

TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise.

touch(p2)
Sys.sleep(3)
touch(p3)
is_files_current(p3, newer_than = 1, units = "days",
                 within = 4, within_units = "secs")
is_files_current(p1, p2, p3, newer_than = 1, units = "days",
                 within = 4, within_units = "secs")
is_files_current(p1, p2, p3, newer_than = 1, units = "days",
                 within = 1, within_units = "secs")
is_files_current(p1, p2, p3, newer_than = 1, units = "secs",
                 within = 4, within_units = "secs")
