R: Directory Source

DirSource {tm} | R Documentation

## Directory Source

### Description

Create a directory source.

### Usage

    DirSource(directory = ".",
              encoding = "",
              pattern = NULL,
              recursive = FALSE,
              ignore.case = FALSE,
              mode = "text")

### Arguments

`directory` | A character vector of full path names; the default corresponds to the working directory `getwd()`.
`encoding` | a character string describing the current encoding. It is passed to `iconv` to convert the input to UTF-8.
`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?
`mode` | a character string specifying if and how files should be read in. Available modes are: `""` No read. In this case `getElem` and `pGetElem` only deliver URIs. `"binary"` Files are read in binary raw mode (via `readBin`). `"text"` Files are read as text (via `readLines`).

### Details

A directory source acquires a list of files via `dir` and interprets each file as a document.

### Value

An object inheriting from `DirSource`, `SimpleSource`, and `Source`.
