Hi Kenneth: I tried: list.files(path="c:\\pctexv4\\samples") and that worked just fine. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu From: khobson at fd9ns01.okladot.state.ok.us Subject: [R] Windows List of Folders? X-BeenThere: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch For windows, how can I list only the folders in some folder? I was thinking that dir() and file.info() with isdir==TRUE being something that might work. These folders or directories are numerically named with no dot extension names or other characters. Typically, these are 3132, 3334, ... Here is what I tried. The last line is where I need more work. pData="C:/Myfiles/R/Data/" setwd (pData) x <- dir(pData, all.files=F) y <- file.info(x, x$isdir==T) TIA Kenneth Ray Hobson, P.E.
