Check File Extension

Source: R/chk-ext.R
chk_ext.Rd

Checks extension using

vld_string(x) && vld_subset(tools::file_ext(x), ext)

The user may want to use toupper() or tolower() to ensure the case matches.

Usage

chk_ext(x, ext, x_name = NULL)

vld_ext(x, ext)

Arguments

x

The object to check.

ext

A character vector of the permitted file extensions (without the .).

x_name

A string of the name of object x or NULL.

Value

The chk_ function throws an informative error if the test fails or returns the original object if successful so it can used in pipes.

The vld_ function returns a flag indicating whether the test was met.
