Get LASfile names

Source: R/get_names.R
get_names.Rd

get_names() returns the filenames of all LAS-related point cloud files (.las, .laz, .copc) found in a given input.

Usage

get_names(path, full.names = FALSE)

Arguments

path

Character. Path(s) to a LAS/LAZ/COPC file, a directory containing such files, or a Virtual Point Cloud (.vpc).

full.names

Logical. If TRUE, return full file paths; otherwise return base filenames only (default).

Value

A character vector of filenames.

Details

The input may be a single file, a directory containing LASfiles, or a Virtual Point Cloud (.vpc) referencing LAS/LAZ/COPC files. Internally, file paths are resolved using resolve_las_paths().

Examples

folder <- system.file("extdata", package = "managelidar")
las_files <- list.files(folder, full.names = T, pattern = "*20240327.laz")

las_files |> get_names()
#> [1] "3dm_32_547_5724_1_ni_20240327.laz" "3dm_32_547_5725_1_ni_20240327.laz"
#> [3] "3dm_32_548_5724_1_ni_20240327.laz" "3dm_32_548_5725_1_ni_20240327.laz"
