R: Move files around.

move_files {filesstrings} | R Documentation

## Move files around.

### Description

Move specified files into specified directories

### Usage

    move_files(files, destinations, overwrite = FALSE)

    file.move(files, destinations, overwrite = FALSE)

### Arguments

`files` | A character vector of files to move (relative or absolute paths).
`destinations` | A character vector of the destination directories into which to move the files.
`overwrite` | Allow overwriting of files? Default no.

### Details

If there are n files, there must be either 1 or n directories. If there is one directory, then all n files are moved there. If there are n directories, then each file is put into its respective directory. This function also works to move directories.

If you try to move files to a directory that doesn't exist, the directory is first created and then the files are put inside.

### Value

Invisibly, a logical vector with a `TRUE` for each time the operation succeeded and a `FALSE` for every fail.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    dir.create("dir")
    files <- c("1litres_1.txt", "1litres_30.txt", "3litres_5.txt")
    file.create(files)
    file.move(files, "dir")
    ## End(Not run)
