BTW, I found that using things directly in R is _much_ slower than creating a batch file and then running it. For example, I had a directory with misnamed mp3 files, and I wanted to use R to rename and copy them to another directory. I tried to use file.copy, but it took too much time. Writing a batch file and then running it was much faster.
