Dear R-list, I have many files on many CDs (probably same as many of you) and I would like to create a database containing only a few columns: - the name of the file - its extension - space occupied - date when it was created - its path - CD number (this should be typed in manually) Is it possible to read a CD/structure of folders in such a way? Thank you for any suggestion, Adrian -- Adrian Dusa Romanian Social Data Archive 1, Schitu Magureanu Bd. Bucharest sector 5 Romania Tel./Fax: +40 21 3126618 \ +40 21 3120210 / int.101
file.info() should help with some of those items.
