  max_depth = NULL,
  encoding = "Latin-1"
)

file	path to file containing path strings
target_dir	path to target directory in which to create the folder structure
pattern	regular expression matching the paths from file to be considered
max_depth	maximum folder depth to be considered
encoding	encoding used when reading file

Examples

# Create a vector of example paths
paths <- c("a1/b1", "a1/b2", "a2/b1", "a2/b1/c1")

# Write the example paths to a temporary file
writeLines(paths, file <- tempfile())

# Create a temporary target directory
target_dir <- kwb.utils::createDirectory(file.path(tempdir(), "test"))

# Create the folder structure as defined by the paths in the temporary file
kwb.fakin::build_folders_from_file(file, target_dir)

# List the directory paths below the target directory
paths_reread <- list.dirs(target_dir, recursive = TRUE, full.names = FALSE)

# Stop if not all paths have been created
stopifnot(all(paths %in% paths_reread))
