Hey Ben, I tried this, # identify the folders current.folder <- "C:/Where my files currently live" new.folder <- "H:/Where I want my files to be copied to" # find the files that you want list.of.files <- list.files(current.folder, "SDM\\.tif$",full.names=T) # copy the files to the new folder file.copy(list.of.files, new.folder) But i am still getting FALSE and files are not getting copied from the folder. However,if I give a single file name it copies that file to new folder. Any thoughts ?

If it contains any directories, you'll want "recursive = TRUE" in file.copy(). Duncan Murdoch
My eye gets drawn immediately to file.rename() - did you give that a shake?> On May 8, 2017, at 6:59 AM, Archit Soni <soni.archit1989 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey Ben, > > I tried this, > > # identify the folders > current.folder <- "C:/Where my files currently live" > new.folder <- "H:/Where I want my files to be copied to" > > # find the files that you want > list.of.files <- list.files(current.folder, "SDM\\.tif$",full.names=T) > > # copy the files to the new folder > file.copy(list.of.files, new.folder) > > But i am still getting FALSE and files are not getting copied from the folder.
