[R] how to update R files included as"source" ?

[Keith Jewell]

Hi,

I'm afraid I really don't have time to enter into a dialogue :-{ but this 
fragment from a function of mine might help...
----------------------
      outfile <- sub("Rd$", "html", hfile, ignore.case=TRUE)  # name of 
corresponding html
      out.mod <- file.info(outfile)[,"mtime"]  # if html absent or needs 
updating
      if (is.na(out.mod)||file.info(hfile)[,"mtime"] > out.mod) 
tools::Rd2HTML(hfile, outfile, .Package) # do it
-----------------------
The third line (inter alia) checks the modification time of the 'target' 
file and decides whether to process it.

Hope that helps,

Keith J
