List paths

Returns names of files and directories located in a given directory. It's similar to list.files() only with better defaults and behaviors.

list_paths(path = ".", full = TRUE, all = FALSE, recursive = FALSE,
  pattern = NULL, ignore.case = FALSE, invert = FALSE)

Arguments

path	Directory from which to locate paths (files and directories)– defaults to current working directory.
full	Logical indicating whether to return full paths. Defaults to TRUE.
all	Logical indicating whether to return all (include dot names) paths. Defaults to FALSE.
recursive	Logical indicating whether to recursively list paths.
pattern	Regular expression pattern on which to filter (return) matching results. Defaults to NULL, meaning all paths will be returned.
ignore.case	Logical indicating whether to ignore case if pattern is supplied–defaults to FALSE.
invert	Logical indicating whether to invert (return those that DO NOT match) pattern matching results–defaults to FALSE.

Value

A character vector of paths.
