copyFiles: Copy System Files

In PBSadmb: ADMB for R Using Scripts or GUI

Copy System Files

Description

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

Usage

copyFiles(prefix, suffix=NULL, srcdir=getwd(), dstdir=getwd(), ask=TRUE)

Arguments

prefix	string scalar/vector of potential file prefixes.
suffix	string scalar/vector of potential file suffixes.
srcdir	source directory from which to copy files.
dstdir	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.
