I am wondering if there is a CRAN package that includes a utility function that will "rotate" file names, in the same sense that operating systems sometimes rotate log files. Or maybe there's something in base R.

That is, we have a set of file names, say file1, file2, file3, and when the function is called, file3 is deleted, file2 is renamed file3, file1 is renamed file2, and the name of file1 is returned to the user's script, which then writes to file1.

I've done some searching (RSiteSearch) but haven't found anything.

Thanks
