Find files using a glob pattern — tool_glob

Format

A tool definition created with ellmer::tool().

Arguments

pattern: Glob pattern to match.
path: Directory to search. Defaults to the working directory.
recursive: If TRUE (the default), search subdirectories.

Value

A text listing of matching paths, relative to path.

Examples

directory <- tempfile()
dir.create(directory)
writeLines("example", file.path(directory, "example.txt"))
tool_glob_files("*.txt", directory)
#> [1] "Base path: /tmp/RtmpZDl9Ug/file19f02e3c5e5f\nMatches: 1\n\nexample.txt"
unlink(directory, recursive = TRUE)
