Generic function to test whether a file name conforms to the given FileFormat instance. Will test for match to header file only

Source: R/all_generic.R, R/file_format.R
header_file_matches-methods.Rd

Validates whether a file name conforms to the header file format specification.

Usage

header_file_matches(x, file_name)

# S4 method for class 'FileFormat,character'
header_file_matches(x, file_name)

Arguments

x

A FileFormat object specifying the format requirements

file_name

A character string specifying the file name to validate

Value

TRUE for match, FALSE otherwise

A logical value: TRUE if the file name matches the header format, FALSE otherwise

Details

The function performs case-sensitive pattern matching to verify that the file name ends with the specified header extension. The match is performed using a regular expression that ensures the extension appears at the end of the file name.
