List File Paths of REDCapSync Projects in a Folder

Searches a specified folder for files related to REDCapSync projects and returns their file paths. Optionally validates the folder to ensure it was previously set up using setup_project().

Usage

check_folder_for_projects(file_path, validate = TRUE)

Arguments

file_path

Character. The path to the folder to search.

validate

Logical. If TRUE, the function will only accept valid directories previously set up with setup_project(). Default is TRUE.

Value

A character vector of file paths for valid REDCapSync project files in the folder. Returns an empty character vector if no valid files are found.

Details

This function checks a folder (and optionally validates its setup) for .RData files that correspond to REDCapSync projects. It identifies files with the extension .RData and names ending in _REDCapSync, filtering out any unrelated files.
