Replacing files
Adding files
As files are replaced or added, replace displays the filenames
on the screen; then at the conclusion of the replace operation,
it displays a summary line:
NNN file(s) added/replaced
or:
No files added/replaced
Note You cannot use the replace command to update hidden
files or system files.
Examples:
Suppose your hard disk, drive C, contains several old files named
phones, cli that contain client names and phone numbers. To
update these files and replace them with the latest version of the
phones, cli file on the disk in drive A, you would type the follow
ing command:
replace a:\phones.cli c:\ /s
This command replaces every file on drive C that is named
phones, cli with the file phones, cli from the root directory on
drive A.
Suppose you want to add some new printer device drivers to
a directory called c:\mstools, which already contains several
printer driver files for a word processor. To do this, you would
type the following:
replace a:*.prd c:\mstools /a
This command searches the default directory of drive A for any
files that have the extension .prd (that don't currently exist in
the \mstools directory on drive C) and then adds these files
to c:\mstools.
