[R] R for copying and pasting selected image files?

[Kim Milferstedt]

Hello,

I would like to use R to process a list of text strings. The text 
strings are filenames, encoding experimental settings. Based on the 
information in there I'd like to select certain files and copy only 
the selected files to another directory.

The files are images and there is no need, actually no desire, to 
open them. Is there a way to use R for copying and pasting files with 
any file extension to another directory without opening them?

Thanks already for any help,

Kim
