- MOVE
-
- The MOVE external command is used to move files (created in a new location
- and deleted from the old). Few versions of DOS have this command. (See the
- MOVFIL topic for a batch file which can move files.)
-
- MOVE [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] [d2:][pathname2]filename2[.ext2]
- or
- MOVE [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] ... [d2:][pathname2]
- \____________________________/ \____________/
- \source/ \destination/
-
- [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] ... is the source file or files. Multiple
- files can be moved by listing them or using wildcard characters when the
- destination is a directory.
-
- [d2:][pathname2]filename2[.ext2] is the destination file. One source file
- can be moved.
-
- [d2:][pathname2] is the destination directory the source file(s) are moved to.
-
- MOVE will not
- destroy an existing destination file
- move a file to a non-existant directory
- move a file to itself.
- MOVEing an empty file may or may not work.
