umx_move_file: Move files

In tbates/umx: Structural Equation Modeling and Twin Modeling in R

Move files

Description

On OS X, umx_move_file can access the current front-most Finder window. The file moves are fast and, because you can use regular expressions, powerful.

Usage

umx_move_file(
  baseFolder = NA,
  regex = NULL,
  fileNameList = NA,
  destFolder = NA,
  test = TRUE,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

baseFolder	The folder to search in. If set to "Finder" (and you are on OS X) it will use the current front-most Finder window. If it is blank, a choose folder dialog will be thrown.
regex	string to select files to process within the selected folder.
fileNameList	List of files to move.
destFolder	Folder to move files to.
test	Boolean determining whether to change the names, or just report a dry run.
overwrite	Boolean determining whether to overwrite files or not (default = FALSE (safe)).

Value

None
