MOVE.EXE

Download: MOVE.ZIP

Moves files to other names, subdirectories or drives.


 Usage: MOVE [file] [path] /Q/O/A/R/H/C/D
 WildCards are Allowed.

  /Q  ;Quiet mode, no messages are displayed while moving.
  /O  ;OverWrite existing files without asking.
  /A  ;Always ask before overWriting existing files.
  /R  ;Include Read-Only files.
  /H  ;Include Hidden, System, and Read-Only files.
  /C  ;Copy instead of move.
  /D  ;Delete files.

The thing that makes this MOVE program better than other move programs is that this one is done right! It first attempts to move by renaming. If this fails, it copies the files and then deletes the originals.

MOVE will normally overwrite existing files if the source file is newer than the destination file unless you use the /A switch.

Examples:

MOVE XYZ.DOC \SUBDIR ;Moves XYZ.DOC to subdirectory SUBDIR MOVE XYZ.DOC D: ;Moves XYZ.DOC to D: MOVE *.DOC \SUBDIR ;Moves all .DOC files to SUBDIR MOVE ABC.DOC XYZ.DOC ;Renames ABC.DOC to XYZ.DOC MOVE A:*.* /D/H ;Deletes all files on A: in root MOVE *.DOC \SUBDIR\*.TXT ;Moves all .DOC files to SUBDIR and changes names to .TXT

Pipes and redirection are also allowed:


  TYPE MOVE.LST|MOVE C:\UTIL  ;Moves all files in MOVE.LST to C:\UTIL
