Usage

file_list_dataset(file_pattern, shuffle = NULL, seed = NULL)

Value

A dataset of string corresponding to file names

Arguments

Details

For example, if we had the following files on our filesystem:

  • /path/to/dir/a.txt

  • /path/to/dir/b.csv

  • /path/to/dir/c.csv

If we pass "/path/to/dir/*.csv" as the file_pattern, the dataset would produce:

  • /path/to/dir/b.csv

  • /path/to/dir/c.csv
