Tools to Explore Files

Description

These functions help to find files on the local disk.

Usage

Xplorefiles(from = "HOME", recursive = TRUE, ignore.case = TRUE)
editFileExtensions()
bydir(x)
Xplor(from = "HOME")

Arguments

`from`	the directory where to start the file search; by default, the ‘HOME’ directory. Use `from = getwd()` to start from the current working directory.
`recursive`	whether to search the subdirectories; `TRUE` by default.
`ignore.case`	whether to ignore the case of the file extensions; `TRUE` by default.
`x`	a list returned by `Xplorefiles`.

Details

Xplorefiles looks for all files with a specified extension in their names. The default is to look for the following file types: CLUSTAL (.aln), FASTA (.fas, .fasta), FASTQ (.fq, .fastq), NEWICK (.nwk, .newick, .tre, .tree), NEXUS (.nex, .nexus), and PHYLIP (.phy). This list can be modified with editFileExtensions.

bydir sorts the list of files by directories.

Xplor combines the other operations and opens the results in a Web browser with clickable links to the directories and files.

Value

Xplorefiles returns a list. bydir prints the file listings on the console.
