MS DOS Command: MOVE.EXE

Reference from Microsoft MS-DOS cmd help

Description

Moves one or more files to the location you specify. The MOVE command can also be used to rename directories.

Syntax

MOVE [/Y|/-Y] [drive:][path]filename[,[drive:][path]filename[...]] destination

Parameters

[drive:][path]filename

Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move. Also specifies the name of a directory you want to rename.

destination

Specifies the new location of the file, or the new name of the directory. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you are moving only one file, you can also specify a filename if you want to rename the file when you move it. If you are moving more than one file, the destination must be a directory name. Moving a file to an existing file overwrites the existing file.

Switches

Indicates that you want MOVE to replace existing file(s) without prompting you for confirmation. By default, if you specify an existing file as the destination file, MOVE will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. (Previous versions of MS-DOS would simply replace the existing file.) If the MOVE command is part of a batch file, MOVE will replace the file without prompting you. Specifying this switch overrides all defaults and the current setting of the COPYCMD environment variable.

/-Y

Indicates that you want MOVE to prompt you for confirmation when replacing an existing file. Specifying this switch overrides all defaults and the current setting of the COPYCMD environment variable.

Examples

Suppose C:\LETTERS is a directory. To move the files ED.TXT and SIGRID.TXT from the current directory to the LETTERS directory on drive C, type the following at the command prompt:

move ed.txt,sigrid.txt c:\letters

To move the BILL.TXT file from the current directory to the LETTERS directory on drive C and rename it ANN.TXT, type the following at the command prompt:

move bill.txt c:\letters\ann.txt

To rename the THISYEAR directory on drive C to LASTYEAR, type the following at the command prompt:

move c:\thisyear c:\lastyear
