Copy an Internal file to an External location in Libgdx

Copy an Internal file to an External location in Libgdx

I'm trying to use these lines of code to copy a master file
data/HighScores.txt to an external location so its readable. Only problem
is, the code I'm using isn't creating the file..
public static void fixFile() {
FileHandle old = Gdx.files.internal("data/HighScores.txt");
System.out.println(new
File(Gdx.files.external("HighScores.txt").path()).getAbsolutePath());
Gdx.files.external("HighScores.txt").delete();
old.copyTo(Gdx.files.external(""));
}
I don't get any errors or anything, the file just doesn't seem to copy over.
Also, when I try and refrence it using
Gdx.files.external("HighScores.txt") It breaks the program or the reader
reads null
