Overview

About

Maintained by Stéphane LaurentFirst published 2020-10-227 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Creates a HTML widget which displays the results of searching for a pattern in files in a given folder. The results can be viewed in the 'RStudio' viewer pane, included in a 'R Markdown' document or in a 'Shiny' application. Also provides a 'Shiny' application allowing to run this widget and to navigate in the files found by the search. Instead of creating a HTML widget, it is also possible to get the results of the search in a 'tibble'. The search is performed by the 'grep' command-line utility.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-findInFiles

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-findInFiles
