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.
Works fine for me on 2.9.1:> file.info('/jph')size isdir mode mtime ctime atime exe /jph 0 TRUE 777 2009-06-29 15:15:13 2008-02-14 09:31:26 2009-07-09 15:57:04 no>On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 2:02 PM, Jason Rupert<jasonkrupert at yahoo.com> wrote:> > 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 at r-project.org 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. >-- Jim Holtman Cincinnati, OH +1 513 646 9390 What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

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}}
Issue was with an entire directory/folder or list of files in a directory. It seemed to work fine for a single file or being sent a single file/folder. I will try to generate some example code to demonstrate the problem. Thanks again for all the replies. --- On Thu, 7/9/09, jim holtman <jholtman at gmail.com> wrote:> From: jim holtman <jholtman at gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [R] Issues with file.info? > To: "Jason Rupert" <jasonkrupert at yahoo.com> > Cc: R-help at r-project.org > Date: Thursday, July 9, 2009, 3:04 PM > Works fine for me on 2.9.1: > > > file.info('/jph') > ? ???size isdir mode? ? > ? ? ? ? ???mtime? > ? ? ? ? ? ???ctime > ? ? atime exe > /jph? ? 0?

Yes. You are right that is the trick:)
Here is what I'm seeing:
input_path<-c("C:/WINDOWS/system32")
file.info(list.files(input_path))
size isdir mode mtime ctime atime exe
$winnt$.inf NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
1025 NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
...
xsi.jar NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
xsi.zip NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
zipfldr.dll NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
input_path<-c("C:/WINDOWS/system32/winmine.exe")
file.info(input_path)
size isdir mode mtime
ctime atime exe
C:/WINDOWS/system32/winmine.exe 119808 FALSE 777 2002-12-31 07:00:00 2008-08-15
14:28:37 2009-07-13 09:39:32 win32
Not sure why, file.info is not working for the array of input files/folders/etc.
but successfully works when an individual file in input.
Thanks again for your insights and feedback.
