Thanks, Rui and Jim, for your replies. I tried to post this question to
r.devel but its admin told me that the question rather belongs into
r-help. Thanks, Jim, for your suggestion. I have already constructed
something similar. I posted my question to suggest modifying the
function so that not everybody has to program his own workaroung.
So, lets see whether this convinces the people reponsible for these base
functions.
Cheers

Hello,
I believe that's a question for r-devel, but good point. It's
docummented that in non-recursive calls to list.files subdirectory names
are always included. (With a typo, "There always are" instead of "They
always are".)

Dear R developers,
as far as I understand the manual of list.files(), there is only a way
to exclude directories from the returned vector if you use list.files
recursively. In non recursive mode, there seems to be no way of
excluding directories (the include dirs argument does not seem to have
any effect). Would it not be more intuitive and practical to allow the
switching off of directory names in both cases?
Thanks a lot
Jannis
