R: Move or rename files

file_move {fs} | R Documentation

## Move or rename files

### Description

Compared to file.rename `file_move()` always fails if it is unable to move a file, rather than signaling a Warning and returning an error code.

### Usage

    file_move(path, new_path)

### Arguments

`path` | A character vector of one or more paths.
`new_path` | New file path. If `new_path` is existing directory, the file will be moved into that directory; otherwise it will be moved/renamed to the full path. Should either be the same length as `path`, or a single directory.

### Value

The new path (invisibly).

### Examples

    file_create("foo")
    file_move("foo", "bar")
    file_exists(c("foo", "bar"))
    file_delete("bar")
