In STATWORX/helfRlein: R Helper Functions

Finding Pattern in R Files

Description

get_files searches for matches to argument pattern within each R file that is a descendant of parent directory dir. It works like a global find function that returns all R files within dir that match pattern. Be careful not to choose a parent directory has too many subdirectories and files.

Usage

get_files(dir, pattern = "", suffix = ".R$")

Arguments

dir	A character string that defines the root directory within which all R files will be analysed
pattern	A character string containing a regular expression to be matched in all R files found in the specified directory
suffix	A string with a pattern to filter the searched file endings. The default is ".R$" to only look for R-files. Use "." to search all files.

Value

Returns a character vector containing all files that match the pattern
