Retrieve a List of Files from a Folder

Usage

getFilesFromFolder(ident, from = pwd(), filePattern = "", recurse = F)

Arguments

ident: Path, resource, or entity ID of the folder (one folder at a time).
from: Used for relative paths. By default, pwd is used (initiated with the step that started improveR).
filePattern: Filter applied to the file name (example: *.r).
recurse: If TRUE, nested folders are also parsed. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A data frame of the child resources of node type File or Link, distinct by resourceId, in the shape loadChildResources() returns. NULL in three cases that are worth telling apart: ident does not resolve to exactly one resource, the resource is not a container (folder, step or analysis tree), or filePattern is not a usable regular expression. An empty folder also yields NULL, not a zero-row data frame.
