Copy and open R, Rmd, and qmd files with QMS approved headers.

This function is somewhat similar to the CPP shell command Rcopy, but it is not called.

Rcopy(
  from = NULL,
  to = NULL,
  version = NULL,
  copyright_holder = NULL,
  open = rstudioapi::isAvailable(),
  save = FALSE
)

Arguments

from

path of original R, Rmd, or qmd file. Defaults to the path of the source editor context.

to

path or directory of new file. If to is a directory, from is copied to that directory. Defaults to the basename of the from file.

version

either NULL for the current R version, or a character in the form "N.n.n" or "Nnn".

copyright_holder

either NULL for the default Simulations Plus copyright statement, a single character defining the copyright holders and accompanying text to follow copyright mark and year, a character vector for multiple separate copyright statements, or FALSE for no copyright.

open

logical indicating whether to open files in RStudio.

save

logical indicating whether to save files prior to copy.

Value
