Apologies for list noise. I just found a subtle typo so the command
was different from what it appeared to be in the actual use-case.
dir() seems to be working OK once that was fixed.

Subject: listing all files in a directory ending in ".xxx" in a script
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2018 19:33:25 -0500

When in a console (I was in Rstudio) I can run
dir("../provenance-of-rootfinding/", pattern="\\.Rmd")
to list all Rmd files in the specified directory.
However, when I try to run this in a script under
Rscript --vanilla
I don't get the files to list.
Am I missing something obvious that I should know about?
