Copy folders from one directory to another in R

Question

I have two folders (say \"A\",\"B\") which are in a folder (say \"Input\"). I want to copy \"A\" and \"B\" to another folder (say \"Output\"). Can I do this in R?

Answer 1

Copying your current directory files to their new directories

currentfiles is a list of files you want to copy newlocation is the directory you're copying to

If you aren't listing your current files, you'll need to loop through you're working directory

file.copy(from=currentfiles, to=newlocation, 
          overwrite = TRUE, recursive = FALSE, 
          copy.mode = TRUE)

This is for deleting your old files

file.remove(currentfiles)
