buildFileNameFun(..., prefix = "ponto", ext = ".rda", sep = "-")

buildFileName(n, prefix = "ponto", ext = NULL, sep = "-", nc = NULL)

`prefix`	Prefix of the filename.
`ext`	File name extension. If `NULL`, use no extension.
`sep`	Separator element between different parts of the file name
`n`	Numbers used to build file name.
`nc`	Number of characters to use when building the numbers. If null use largest number in `n`.

It is very common useful to build file names with sequential numbers within. So that the numbers appear in the correct order in directory listings or simply that when viewing the file names they appear homogeneous it is nice to have a function that perform build this file names easily. buildFileName takes as input a sequence of numbers and builds the file names with given prefix, extension and separator.

The other function, buildFileNameFun returns a function that creates the file name given the indexes. It allows multiple indexes so that, for instance a grid of file names can be created.

Character vector with the names.

print(buildFileName(1:10, ext='.txt'))
print(buildFileName(1:10, ext='.txt', sep='_'))
print(buildFileName(1:10, ext=NULL))
print(buildFileName(1:10, nc=3))
