I'm using R on Windows and wondering if there is an R package that
allows you to do folder structure analysis.

the file size and creationdation date.

The posting guide has lot of suggestions about how to solve a problem like
this under the 'do you homework' heading.
However, you don't really need to go even that far.
Recent versions of R have tab completion.
So take a guess as to what function might help you out, type the first few
characters, then hit tab once (or maybe twice) and see what pops up. Then
put a '?' in front of that function name and check the help page.
Using some of the words in your 'Specifically, ...' sentence, I tried
this. Some of them did not complete, some completed but were obviously not
what you were after, and some were highly suggestive. Oh yes, one led to
a function that seemed like an obvious winner and the example on its help
page comes very close to solving your problem.
Enjoy!

Thank you again for your insights.
