Come elencare i file per data in r (con esempio)

È possibile utilizzare la seguente sintassi di base per elencare i file nella directory di lavoro corrente in R per data:

 #extract all CSV files in working directory
file_info = file. info ( list.files (pattern=" *.csv "))

#sort files based on mtime (date and time modification)
file_info = file_info[ with (file_info, order (as. POSIXct (mtime))), ]

#view only file names with modification date and time
file_info[c(" mtime ")]

L’esempio seguente mostra come utilizzare questa sintassi nella pratica.

Esempio: come elencare i file per data in R

Supponiamo di voler elencare tutti i file CSV nella directory di lavoro corrente in R per data.

Posso utilizzare la seguente sintassi per estrarre prima tutti i file CSV (con le informazioni sui file) dalla directory di lavoro corrente:

 #extract all CSV files in working directory
file_info = file. info ( list.files (pattern=" *.csv "))

#view all CSV files
file_info

Posso quindi utilizzare la funzione order() per ordinare i file in base a mtime , che rappresenta la data e l’ora dell’ultima modifica dei file:

 #sort files based on mtime (date and time modification)
file_info = file_info[ with (file_info, order (as. POSIXct (mtime))), ]

#view sorted files
file_info

Tieni presente che puoi invece utilizzare ctime se desideri ordinare i file in base alla data di creazione o atime per ordinare i file in base alla data di accesso .

Infine, possiamo sottoimpostare il frame di dati per visualizzare solo i nomi dei file e la data e l’ora dell’ultima modifica:

 #view only file names with modification date and time
file_info[c(" mtime ")]

                                  mtime

Se lo desideri, puoi anche visualizzare solo i nomi dei file per data:

 #view only file names
rownames(file_info)

 [1] "my_list.csv" "my_test.csv" "df1.csv" "df2.csv" "df3.csv"            
 [6] "test.csv" "my_data.csv" "players_data.csv" "basketball_data.csv" "uneven_data.csv"    
[11] "player_stats.csv" "team_info.csv"  

I dodici nomi di file CSV sono ordinati per data.
