Find and read a student text submission automatically

Scans the current working directory for text files (.txt, .md, .pdf), excludes the calling autograder script, and returns the content of the first matching file as a character string. Mirrors the auto-discovery logic of source_student_file().

Usage

find_student_text(pattern = NULL, autograder_name = NULL)

Arguments

pattern

Optional regex to filter filenames (e.g. "interpretation"). When NULL, all supported text formats are considered.

autograder_name

Character or NULL. Additional filename(s) to exclude beyond the auto-detected calling script.

Value

A single character string with the file contents.
