copy file (FileUtil: copy)
« on: September 03, 2014, 09:51:54 AM »
I would like to copy a file (pdf, jpg, mov, etc.) from one directory to another.

With FileUtil this seems to be possible and uncomplicated.
"FileUtil.CopyFileOrDirectory ( sourcePath, destinyPath );"

Maybe there is already a similar action to copy files out there?! I did not found a action for this situation....

Would be great to have a action with the following functionality:
- path source (absolute / relative with StreamingAssets)
- path destination (absolute / relative with StreamingAssets)
- file existing? folder existing?
- file written? failed?

I`m working to a non game application in Unity, and I would like to copy/paste some files from one location to another. Unfortunatelly, I`m not a coder, so I`m not able to write my own action. Would it be possile to get such actions: copy/paste/move files, with input request from user if needed.
Thanks.

There seem to be some actions in ecosystem related to this (create folder, check if file exists, load from files, etc)..

dudebxl - thanks for the delete file action. I`ll be really grateful if you can help with a copy file action (source/destination overwrite options). I checked everywhere and there is no such action. Cheers!

I don't think you need a new action. To copy, just get all the data from file and create new one and insert the data. To overwrite, just delete the file and then create a new one with new data.

Sorry to necro :)

Can someone doublecheck if the 'Create Folder' action is still present? Not popping up on ecosystem for me :/

Also, is there any direct way to copy a folder? Or is it best to iterate through another folder and just copy files individually?

Thanks!
