file_move: Move or rename files

In fs: Cross-Platform File System Operations Based on 'libuv'

Move or rename files

Description

Compared to file.rename file_move() always fails if it is unable to move a file, rather than signaling a Warning and returning an error code.

Usage

file_move(path, new_path)

Arguments

path	A character vector of one or more paths.
new_path	New file path. If new_path is existing directory, the file will be moved into that directory; otherwise it will be moved/renamed to the full path. Should either be the same length as path, or a single directory.

Value

The new path (invisibly).

Examples

file_create("foo")
file_move("foo", "bar")
file_exists(c("foo", "bar"))
file_delete("bar")
