drive_new_from_template()

Description

Create a new Galactic Polymath Google Drive file from a template file.

Usage

drive_new_from_template(
  template_path = NULL,
  dest_path = NULL,
  new_name = FALSE,
  new_name_gsub = NULL,
  exact_match = TRUE,
  WD = NULL,
  drive_root = NULL,
  overwrite = NA,
  ...
)

Arguments

template_path	i.e. the FROM path; a text string of a path to a template to pass to drive_find_path()
dest_path	i.e. the TO path; text string of a path where you want to file to go
new_name	text string(s) of what you'd like to name your new file. default=FALSE maintains the original name; NULL results in "Copy of FILENAME"; passed to googledrive::drive_cp(); If a single name is provided, it will be recycled
new_name_gsub	alternate name specification (don't specify new_name if specifying new_name_gsub); default= NULL
exact_match	passed to drive_find_path()
WD	passed to drive_find_path()
drive_root	passed to drive_find_path()
overwrite	Do you want to overwrite an existing file? default=NA means overwrite. Other options T or F are very inefficient; passed to googledrive::drive_cp()
...	pass other arguments to Google Drive API (see googledrive::drive_cp())
