Re: [R] Create directory and copy files in R

[Don MacQueen]

In your file.copy() command you have "deskfile", 
but "deskfile" does not appear anywhere else. 
Perhaps you meant deskdir?

After the error occurs, type
  traceback()

and try to discern exactly where things went wrong.

HI, All R users,

My problem is:

 fn
[1] "C:/Documents and 
Settings/lma/Desktop/FamilyAEntrepreneurs/Entrepreneurs/Juha/book_log-20041210T095019.txt"
 dpath
[1] "C:/Documents and Settings/lma/My Documents/Juha/book"


I want to make  a function "cyfun" to copy all 
files in "dir" to "deskdir" but I always got the 
following problem:

Error in file.exists(to) : invalid 'file' argument.
Whats the problem??




cyfun<-function(fn,dpath){
dir<-dirname(fn)
fn<-basename(fn)

deskdir<-dir.create(dpath)
file.copy(fn, deskfile)

}

Thanks!

Tammy
