Move file automatically between folders

Source: R/move.R
file_rename_auto.Rd

  • file_rename_auto() automatically renames your file to a better name while keeping the same folder structure

  • file_move_dir_auto() automatically moves your file while keeping the same file name

Usage

file_rename_auto(new_name, old_file = .Last.value)

file_move_dir_auto(new_dir, old_file = .Last.value)

Arguments

new_name, new_dir

New directory or file name (without extension)

old_file

The old file name

Value

The new full path name, invisibly, allowing you to call the functions another time.

Advantages

Instead of calling fs::file_move("path/to/dir/file.R", "path/to/dir/new-file.R"), you can just call file_rename_auto("new-file", "path/to/dir/file.R")

Instead of calling fs::file_move("path/to/dir/file.R", "path/to/new-dir/file.R"), you can just call file_move_auto("new-dir", "path/to/dir/file.R")

If the functions are used in conjunction with file_move_temp_auto(),
