- Version 1.1 MOVE
- (11-10-87) Command
-

-
- Purpose: Moves files around on the same disk. Files
- being moved within the same directory must have
- different names.
-
- Format: MOVE sourcepath [destinationpath] [/r] [/q]
-
- Remarks: The 'sourcepath' and 'destinationpath' may be
- a file name, a complete path name, or a sub-
- directory and may include wildcard characters.
- If 'sourcepath' is a subdirectory, then a
- wildcard of '*.*' is assumed and all files from
- that subdirectory are moved to 'destinationpath'.
- If 'destinationpath' is not included, than the
- current directory is assumed.
-
- The optional '/r' parameter is used to replace
- existing destination files. If it is not
- specified, then no files will be overwritten and
- an error message will be produced.
-
- The optional '/q' parameter is used to indicate
- that no progress messages are to be displayed.
- This is known as (q)uiet mode. Error messages
- will be displayed regardless of the (q)uiet mode
- setting.
-
- This command does an internal rename of the file(s)
- and therefore is much quicker than using copy and
- then delete. If you are going from one drive to
- another than you must use the copy and delete
- method, as renaming files across disks is not
- supported.
