Moving files between folders

Question

I want to copy/paste a file from one folder to another folder in windows using R, but it\'s not working. My code:

> file.rename(from=\"C:/Users/msc2/Desk         


        

Answer 1

You can try the filesstrings library. This option will move the file into a directory. Example code:

First, we create a sample directory and file:

dir.create("My_directory")
file.create("My_file.txt")

Second, we can move My_file.txt into the created directory My_directory:

file.move("My_file.txt", "My_directory")
