Issues with file.info?
by Jason Rupert
::
Rate this Message:
Are there any tricks associated with file.info? I just tried it on a directory folder and it returned NA for all fields for all files. I tried it on a different folder with different files and it still returned NA. I tried it on a specific file and it returned all the proper info correctly. Just wondering if there are any tricks I've overlooked. ______________________________________________ R-help@... mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. |

Yes. You've overlooked the trick of telling us about the specifics of your operating system, version of R, etc., and of showing exactly what commands you ``tried'', i.e. of reading the Posting Guide. cheers, Rolf Turner ###################################################################### Attention:\ This e-mail message is privileged and confid...{{dropped:9}} ______________________________________________ R-help@... mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. |

Look at what list.files() returns: there is no path, just the filename. If you want to use file.info, you need the full path, so you'd use file.info(list.files(input_path,full=TRUE)) (That takes a long time, by the way: there are a lot of files there, and they all need to be opened for inspection!)
