copyFiles {PBSadmb}R Documentation

Copy System Files

Description

Copy files with specified prefixes and suffixes from one location to another.

Usage

copyFiles(prefix, suffix=NULL, dir0=getwd(), dir1=getwd(), ask=TRUE)

Arguments

prefix string scalar/vector of potential file prefixes.
suffix string scalar/vector of potential file suffixes.
dir0 source directory from which to copy files.
dir1 destination directory to copy files to.
ask logical: if TRUE, popup boxes will prompt the user for every instance that a file will be overwritten.

Details

This function uses R's list.files and file.copy functions. The pattern recognition tends not to work when given the wildcard character *; however, the user may use this character, and the code will interpret it.

Value

Invisibly returns a Boolean vector with names of files that have been copied or not.
