listDir.File: Gets the file names in the directory

In HenrikBengtsson/R.io: [R] Class Library - File, connection and I/O classes

Description

Gets the file names in the directory. If the File object is not a directory NULL is returned.

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

Usage

## S3 method for class 'File'
listDir(this, pattern=NULL, recursive=FALSE, private=FALSE, full.names=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

pattern	Pattern passed to internal list.files(). This is an alternative to argument filter.
recursive	If TRUE, subdirectories are recursively processed, otherwise not.
private	If TRUE, also files starting with a period are returned.
full.names	If TRUE, the full path names are returned.
...	Not used.

Value

Returns a vector of file names. If the File object is not a directory NULL is returned.
