I am trying to list files that are organized as following:
/Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/data/cmip5/historical/
----clt
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
---------------models
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
----hurs
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
---------------models
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
----precip
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
---------------models
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
----temp
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
---------------models
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
----wind
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
---------------models
-----------------------file1.txt
-----------------------file2.txt
What I would like to do is list, in one single list, all files contained in the subdirectories "models".
What I tried, and did not work, was this command:
> Sys.glob(file.path('/Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/data/cmip5/historical/', "models","*.txt"))
character(0)
Is there any straighforward way to achieve this with R?
r list file subdirectory

Turns out that it was way easier than I thought:
Sys.glob('/Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/data/cmip5/historical/*/models/*.txt')
It seems like it is impossible to find something R can not do.
