util_search_pattern: Search for Files using Regular Expression
In jeksterslabds/jeksterslabRutils: Package Utility Functions

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) Examples

Searches for files in dir using file name regular expression pattern.

util_search_pattern(
  dir = getwd(),
  pattern = "^file.*\\.csv$",
  all.files = FALSE,
  full.names = TRUE,
  recursive = FALSE,
  ignore.case = TRUE,
  no.. = FALSE
)

`dir`	Character string. Directory to search.
`pattern`	an optional regular expression. Only file names which match the regular expression will be returned.
`all.files`	a logical value. If `FALSE`, only the names of visible files are returned (following Unix-style visibility, that is files whose name does not start with a dot). If `TRUE`, all file names will be returned.
`full.names`	a logical value. If `TRUE`, the directory path is prepended to the file names to give a relative file path. If `FALSE`, the file names (rather than paths) are returned.
`recursive`	logical. Should the listing recurse into directories?
`ignore.case`	logical. Should pattern-matching be case-insensitive?
`no..`	logical. Should both `"."` and `".."` be excluded also from non-recursive listings?
