Remove date/time stamps from Excel results files created by the Autorunner

Description

remove_file_timestamp will remove date/time stamps that have EXACTLY the same format as the Simcyp Autorunner's output. For example: "myfile - 2023-10-31 13-29-15.xlsx" will become "myfile.xlsx". BE CAREFUL because there's no undo button; your file names will be permanently changed.

Usage

remove_file_timestamp(
  sim_data_files = NA,
  regex_to_match = NA,
  return_file_names = FALSE
)

Arguments

sim_data_files	the Simcyp Simulator results Excel files to clean up. There are three options: Leave this as NA (default) to remove the date/time stamp from all the Excel files in the current folder. Set to "recursive" to remove the date/time stamp from all the Excel files in this and all subfolders. Provide a character vector of the exact files whose date/time stamps you want to remove.
regex_to_match	Optionally provide a text string to use for finding the correct files from which to remove the date/time stamp. For example,if your files all start with "abc1a-", list that here, in quotes, and anything that doesn't contain "abc1a-" will be ignored. Don't include the "xlsx" part of the file name, though, because we'll add that. Wildcards and other regex are acceptable.
return_file_names	TRUE or FALSE (default) for whether to return the original and revised file names. If you want to check what the new file names would be before running this, try running detect_file_timestamp first.

Value

Does not return anything in R; only changes file names
