When using Exploratory, there may be times when you want to get a list of data frames within a project. This post explains how to do just that.
How to Check the Target Project ID
First, you need to confirm the project ID.
In Exploratory, a folder with the project ID name is created under the projects folder in the configured repository. This is because data frame information is extracted from within that folder.
For example, by accessing the folder with the project ID Sample_Project, you can retrieve the data frame information contained in that project.
To check the project ID, open the project menu and select “Project Info.”
This will bring up a dialog showing the project information, where you can confirm the project ID.
How to acquire a List of Projects
Next, follow the steps below to retrieve a list of projects.
1. Open Terminal / Git Bash
For Mac users: launch the “Terminal” app.
For Windows users: launch “Git Bash.”
2. Navigate to the .exploratory/projects Directory
Once Terminal or Git Bash is open, run the following command to navigate to the project storage location:
cd ~/.exploratory/projects
If you have changed the location of the repository, navigate to the projects folder in your configured repository.
3. Specify a Project ID to Retrieve the List of Data Frames
Run the following command to navigate to the data frames in the project with ID Sample_Porject_EN_xvB5awx4 (replace with your actual project ID):
cd Sample_Porject_EN_xvB5awx4/dataframes
Then run:
grep -r '"rName"' . --exclude='*Source1.json'
4. Example of Execution Result
Upon execution, you will see output like the following, where rName represents the data frame names:
