I have two folders (say "A","B") which are in a folder (say "Input"). I want to copy "A" and "B" to another folder (say "Output"). Can I do this in R?

copy() function as shown in the following R syntax. Within the file. copy function, we have to specify the directory path and file names of the first folder from which we want to copy the files, as well as the directory path and file names of the second folder to which we want to copy the files.
In order to copy a directory on Linux, you have to execute the “cp” command with the “-R” option for recursive and specify the source and destination directories to be copied.
In the Terminal app on your Mac, use the cp command to make a copy of a file. The -R flag causes cp to copy the folder and its contents. Note that the folder name does not end with a slash, which would change how cp copies the folder.
If you need to copy a file to multiple folders, you can hold down the Ctrl key, and drag the file or folder on to each folder you want to copy it to.
Copying your current directory files to their new directories
currentfiles is a list of files you want to copy newlocation is the directory you're copying to
If you aren't listing your current files, you'll need to loop through you're working directory
file.copy(from=currentfiles, to=newlocation, overwrite = TRUE, recursive = FALSE, copy.mode = TRUE) This is for deleting your old files
file.remove(currentfiles) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
