COPYFILE Copy Files
Section: Operating System Functions
Usage
Copies a file or files from one location to another. There are several syntaxes for this function that are acceptable:copyfile(file_in,file_out)
copies the file from file_in to file_out. Also, the second
argument can be a directory name:
copyfile(file_in,directory_out)
in which case file_in is copied into the directory specified by
directory_out. You can also use copyfile to copy entire directories
as in
copyfile(dir_in,dir_out)
in which case the directory contents are copied to the destination directory
(which is created if necessary). Finally, the first argument to copyfile can
contain wildcards
copyfile(pattern,directory_out)
in which case all files that match the given pattern are copied to the output
directory. Note that to remain compatible with the MATLAB API, this function
will delete/replace destination files that already exist, unless they are marked
as read-only. If you want to force the copy to succeed, you can append a 'f'
argument to the copyfile function:
copyfile(arg1,arg2,'f')
or equivalently
copyfile arg1 arg2 f
