Replaces files in the destination directory with files in the source
directory that have the same name. You can also use replace to add
unique file names to the destination directory. replace [drive1:][path1] filename [drive2:][path2]
[/a] [/p] [/r] [/w] replace [drive1:][path1] filename [drive2:][path2]
[/p] [/r] [/s] [/w] [/u] Parameters [drive1:][path1] filename Specifies the location and name of the source file or set of files. [drive2:][path2] Specifies the location of the destination file. You cannot specify a file
name for files you replace. If you specify neither a drive nor a directory, replace
uses the current drive and directory as the destination. /a Adds new files to the destination directory instead of replacing existing
files. You cannot use this switch with the /s or /u switch. /p Prompts you for confirmation before replacing a destination file or adding
a source file. /r Replaces read-only files as well as unprotected files. If you do not
specify this switch but attempt to replace a read-only file, an error results
and stops the replacement operation. /w Waits for you to insert a disk before replace begins to search for source
files. If you do not specify /w, replace begins replacing or adding
files immediately after you press ENTER. /s Searches all subdirectories of the destination directory and replaces
matching files. You cannot use the /s switch with the /a
switch. The replace command does not search subdirectories specified
in path1. /u Replaces (updates) only those files on the destination directory that are
older than those in the source directory. You cannot use the /u switch
with the /a switch. |
