seekr is an R package designed to help you search for specific patterns within text files.
# Install it directly from CRAN:
install.packages("seekr")
# Or the the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("smartiing/seekr")seekr provides two main functions:
seek(): Search for a pattern in files within a
specified directory.seek_in(): Search for a pattern in a given list of
files.Each function returns a tibble with the following columns:
path: Path to the file (relative or absolute).line_number: Line number where the pattern was
found.match: The first match found in the line.matches: All matches found in the line (if matches =
TRUE).line: Content of the matching line.library(seekr)
