Copying list of files from one folder to other in R

Question

I am trying to bulk move files of different kinds in R.

origindir <- c(\"c:/origindir\")
targetdir <- c(\"c/targetdir\")
filestocopy <- c(\"myfile.         


        

Answer 1

As Joran and Chase have already pointed out in the comments, all you need to do is:

file.copy(from=filestocopy, to=targetdir, 
          overwrite = recursive, recursive = FALSE, 
          copy.mode = TRUE)

Then, if you're actually moving the files, remove the originals with:

file.remove(filestocopy)
