Yes. You are right that is the trick:)
Here is what I'm seeing:
input_path<-c("C:/WINDOWS/system32")
file.info(list.files(input_path))
size isdir mode mtime ctime atime exe
$winnt$.inf NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
1025 NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
...
xsi.jar NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
xsi.zip NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
zipfldr.dll NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
input_path<-c("C:/WINDOWS/system32/winmine.exe")
file.info(input_path)
size isdir mode mtime
ctime atime exe
C:/WINDOWS/system32/winmine.exe 119808 FALSE 777 2002-12-31 07:00:00
2008-08-15 14:28:37 2009-07-13 09:39:32 win32
Not sure why, file.info is not working for the array of input
files/folders/etc. but successfully works when an individual file in input.
Thanks again for your insights and feedback.
