DOS Command Move
Type: Internal (6.0 and later)
Syntax:
MOVE [/Y|/-Y] [d:][path]filename[,[d:][path]filename[...]]
destination
Purpose: Moves one or more files to the location you specify.
Can also be used to rename directories.
Discussion
To move a file or files, you specify the name and location of the
file or files you want to move followed by the destination. The
destination specifies the new location of the file, or the new name
of the directory. The destination can consist of a drive letter
followed by a colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you are
moving only one file, you can also specify a filename. If you are
moving more than one file, the destination must be a directory name.
If you move a file to an existing file, it will be overwritten.
Options
/Y - Use this option if you want MOVE to replace existing file(s)
without prompting you for a confirmation. Otherwise, the replacement
will not be made until you confirm it. If you use MOVE as part of a
batch file, existing files will be replaced without a confirmation
prompt. This option will override all defaults as well as the
current setting of the COPYCMD environment variable.
/-Y - Use this option if you want MOVE to provide a confirmation
prompt before replacing an existing file. This option will override
all defaults as well as the current setting of the COPYCMD
environment variable.
Examples
If you want to move two files named LETTER1 and LETTER2 from the
current directory to the \MEMOS directory on drive C, enter the
following:
move letter1, letter2 c:\memos
To rename the 89MEMOS directory on drive C to 90MEMOS, enter the
following:
move c:\89memos c:\90memos
