Copy files, directories or links
file_copy() copies files.
link_copy() creates a new link pointing to the same location as the previous link.
dir_copy() copies the directory recursively at the new location.
file_copy(path, new_path, overwrite = FALSE) dir_copy(path, new_path, overwrite = FALSE) link_copy(path, new_path, overwrite = FALSE)
path |
A character vector of one or more paths. |
new_path |
A character vector of paths to the new locations. |
overwrite |
Overwrite files if they exist. If this is |
The behavior of dir_copy() differs slightly than that of file.copy() when
overwrite = TRUE. The directory will always be copied to new_path, even
if the name differs from the basename of path.
The new path (invisibly).
file_create("foo")
file_copy("foo", "bar")
try(file_copy("foo", "bar"))
file_copy("foo", "bar", overwrite = TRUE)
file_delete(c("foo", "bar"))
dir_create("foo")
# Create a directory and put a few files in it
files <- file_create(c("foo/bar", "foo/baz"))
file_exists(files)
# Copy the directory
dir_copy("foo", "foo2")
file_exists(path("foo2", path_file(files)))
# Create a link to the directory
link_create(path_abs("foo"), "loo")
link_path("loo")
link_copy("loo", "loo2")
link_path("loo2")
# Cleanup
dir_delete(c("foo", "foo2"))
link_delete(c("loo", "loo2"))Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
