rename outputs

Source: R/rename_outputs.R
ft_rename_outputs.Rd

When running a targets workflow, I often have files that are generated automatically as part of the workflow. However, I often rename them to match the directory, and add the day to the filename. This enables that automatically.

Usage

ft_rename_outputs(
  file_names = NULL,
  prefix = "",
  suffix = Sys.Date(),
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

file_names

which files need to be renamed?

prefix

what is the prefix to add?

suffix

what is the suffix to add (default is today's date)

overwrite

should we overwrite already existing files?

Details

To rename actual targets, pass the output of tar_read(target_name). Note that this function will not copy and rename qmd and rmd source files.
