u_dateR creates a data frame of paths, folder names and dates from the contents of a folder.

u_dateR(path, archive, pat = ".jpeg")

Arguments

path	Character string filepath to the path/row of satellite imagery to check. Can also be a folder of jpegs or some other date named files.
archive	A logical scalar. TRUE will assume path is indicating RSSA internal USGS archive. FALSE can be used when querying a QA jpeg folder or the like.
pat	Pattern to search for in a non-USGS imagery archive. Defaults to ".jpeg".

Value

• path - a column of character string file paths

• folds - a column of character string folder names

• dates - a column of date class dates

For a non-USGS archive the query will return a data frame with:

• path - a column of character string file paths

• folds - a column of character string folder names
