how to copy a file to other directory in octave?

[frank wang]

Hi,

 

Could anyone tell me how to copy a file from one directory to another directory in octave? Here is what I want to do.

 

input=sprintf('%s/filename',outdir)

root='root_dir'

 

in Matlab, I can type

 

copyfile(input, root_dir)

 

How could I do this in octave?

 

Thanks
