I have a folder with several subfolders containing maybe 10,000 files and I'm interested in pulling out specific files with those different subfolders. I know which files I want pulled out, the file names and paths are saved in an excel file but I keep getting errors that I can't figure out how to navigate around.
file.copy(file.path(Relevant$FilePath), new_location)
- Relevant = excel file with file path of select files
- FilePath = column header containing the file path for each individual file
- New_location = folder I'm trying to move the files to
I've tried copying the files to different location and get one of two errors. The first is
In file.copy(file.path(Relevant$FilePath), new_location) :
problem copying H:\Outputs\test1.wav to C:\Box\new_location\test1.wav: No such file or directory
Another error I see is
Error in file.copy(file.path(Relevant$FilePath), new_location) :
more 'from' files than 'to' files
