          recursive = FALSE, ignore.case = FALSE)

Arguments

directory
A character vector of full path names; the default corresponds to the working directory getwd().
encoding
encoding to be assumed for input strings. It is used to mark character strings as known to be in Latin-1 or UTF-8: it is not used to re-encode the input.
pattern
An optional regular expression. Only file names which match the regular expression will be returned.
recursive
Logical. Should the listing recurse into directories?
ignore.case
Logical. Should pattern-matching be case-insensitive?

Value

  • An object of class DirSource which extends the class Source representing a directory. Each file in this directory is considered to be a document.
