This started out as a package for file and string manipulation. Since then,
the fs file manipulation package and the strex string manipulation
package emerged, offering functionality previously given by this package (but
slightly better). Those packages have hence almost pushed 'filesstrings' into
extinction. However, it still has a small number of unique, handy file
manipulation functions which can be seen in the vignette..
One example is a function to remove spaces from all file names in a
directory.
