find files containing report in their names in r

To find files containing "report" in their names in R, you can use the list.files() function along with regular expressions.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates this approach:

main.r
# Set the directory path where the files are located
dir_path <- "path/to/directory"

# Use list.files() to get a vector of all files in the directory that contain "report" in their names
report_files <- list.files(dir_path, pattern = "report", full.names = TRUE)

# Print the vector of file names that contain "report"
print(report_files)

9 lines

The pattern argument in list.files() takes a regular expression that matches the desired pattern in the file names. In this case, we set it to "report", which will match any file name that contains the string "report". The full.names argument is set to TRUE to return the full path names of the matching files.

This code will return a vector of file names that contain "report" in their names in the specified directory path.
