Hi,
I am using the windows version of R. I wanted to copy a directory (containing
several files) to another directory. Is there any command in R that will let me
do this (something like the 'cp' command in UNIX)? I have looked at
'file.copy', but as the name implies I think it only copies one file at
a time.
thanks!

I'd use a shell() command to call xcopy or robocopy, or cp given you have some unix tools installed. Uwe Ligges Paul Evans wrote:> Hi, > > I am using the windows version of R.

copyDirectory() in the R.utils package. /Henrik On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 1:01 AM, Paul Evans <p.evans48 at yahoo.com> wrote:> Hi, > > I am using the windows version of R.
