Usage

copy_SS_inputs(
  dir.old = NULL,
  dir.new = NULL,
  create.dir = TRUE,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  recursive = FALSE,
  use_ss_new = FALSE,
  copy_exe = FALSE,
  copy_par = FALSE,
  dir.exe = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

dir.old

Location of model files to be copied, either an absolute path or relative to the working directory.

dir.new

New location to which the files should be copied, either an absolute path or relative to the working directory.

create.dir

Create dir.new directory if it doesn't exist already?

overwrite

A logical value specifying if the existing file(s) should be overwritten. The default value is overwrite = FALSE.

recursive

A logical value passed to the recursive argument of dir.create() that specifies if elements of the path other than the last be created?

use_ss_new

Use .ss_new files instead of original inputs?

copy_exe

Copy any executables found in dir.old to dir.new or dir.exe (if provided)?

copy_par

Copy any .par files found in dir.old to dir.new?

dir.exe

Path to executable to copy instead of any in dir.old.

verbose

A logical value specifying if output should be printed to the screen.

# A theoretical example if "old_model" was present
# but expect an error
copy_SS_inputs(
  dir.old = "c:/SS/old_model",
  dir.new = "c:/SS/new_model"
)
# A working example using files stored in {r4ss}
copy_SS_inputs(
  dir.old = system.file("extdata", "simple_small", package = "r4ss"),
  dir.new = "test"
)
unlink(test, recursive = TRUE)
