tr_get_files: Create a named list of files

In travis-m-blimkie/tRavis: tRavis: an R package by Travis Blimkie

Create a named list of files

Description

Function which creates a named list of files in a specified directory. The list names are trimmed versions of file names, while contents of the list are the file names themselves. In this way, it can be easily piped into purrr::map(~read.csv(.x)) to create a named list of data frames.

Usage

tr_get_files(
  directory,
  pattern = "",
  recur = FALSE,
  date = FALSE,
  remove_string = NULL
)

Arguments

directory	Directory containing files to read
pattern	Optional, case-sensitive pattern to use in file searching. If no pattern is supplied, all files in the specified directory will be returned.
recur	Whether file searching and listing should be done recursively. Defaults to FALSE.
date	Do file names contain a date which should be removed? Must be formatted akin to "YYYYMMDD", i.e. all numeric with no spaces, dashes, etc. Defaults to FALSE.
remove_string	Optional string which can be removed from file names when creating names for the output list

Value

Named list of files

References

None.
