Hi folks, I'm interested in finding files by matching both filenames and directories via regex. If I have:
dir1_pat1/file1.csv dir2_pat1/file2.csv dir2_pat1/file3.txt dir3_pat2/file4.csv I would like to find, for example, all csv files in directories that have "pat1" in their name: dir1_pat1/file1.csv dir2_pat1/file2.csv > list.files(path = ".", pattern = ".*pat1/.*\\.csv", recursive = T) character(0) > list.files(path = ".", pattern = ".*pat1/.*\\.csv", recursive = T, full.names=T) character(0) > list.files(path = ".", pattern = ".*\\.csv", recursive = T, full.names=T) [1] "./dir1_pat1/file1.csv" "./dir2_pat1/file2.csv" "./dir3_pat2/file4.csv" > list.files(path = ".", pattern = "pat1", recursive = T, full.names=T) character(0) I think list.files just runs the regex pattern against the file names, not the full path. I tried full.names=T, but it still matches against the file name only. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
