getBridgeNames {BridgeDbR} | R Documentation

## Method to list the BridgeDb identifier mapping file names as available from the download site.

### Description

This method returns a list of file names of BridgeDb identifier mapping files as they are available from the mapping file download site. The optional code parameter can be used to restrict the list to a specific organism.

Occassionally, the ID mapping file download website changes the pattern of the file names. In that case, you can provide an alternative filename pattern to recognize files on the download site.

### Usage

    getBridgeNames(code, website, pattern)

### Arguments

`code` | the organism code
`website` | optional parameter that allows you to provide a different location to download BridgeDb Derby files from.
`pattern` | optional parameter to change the filename pattern of the BridgeDb Derby files.

### Value

`list` | the list of available BridgeDb mapping files
