sourceDirectory {R.utils} | R Documentation

## Sources files recursively to either local or global environment

### Description

Sources files recursively to either local or global environment.

### Usage

    ## Default S3 method:
    sourceDirectory(path, pattern=".*[.](r|R|s|S|q)([.](lnk|LNK))*$", recursive=TRUE,
      envir=parent.frame(), onError=c("error", "warning", "skip"), modifiedOnly=TRUE, ...,
      verbose=FALSE)

### Arguments

`path` | A path to a directory to be sourced.
`pattern` | A regular expression file name pattern to identify source code files.
`recursive` | If `TRUE`, subdirectories are recursively sourced first, otherwise not.
`envir` | An `environment` in which the code should be evaluated.
`onError` | If an error occurs, the error may stop the job, give a warning, or silently be skipped.
`modifiedOnly` | If `TRUE`, only files that are modified since the last time they were sourced are sourced, otherwise regardless.
`...` | Additional arguments passed to `sourceTo`().
`verbose` | A `logical` or a `Verbose` object.

### Value

Returns a `vector` of the full pathnames of the files sourced.

### Details

Subdirectories and files in each (sub-)directory are sourced in lexicographic order.

### Hooks

This method does not provide hooks, but the internally used `sourceTo`() does.
