- REPLACE [new DOS 3.3]
-
- The REPLACE external command is used to selectively replace files
- on a backup disk that have been modified since being backed up.
-
- REPLACE
- [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] [d2:][pathname2] [/A][/P][/R][/S][/W]
- [/U] [new DOS 4.0]
- \____________________________/ \____________/
- \source/ \destination
-
- [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] is the source of the files that
- will be checked for modification.
-
- [d2:][pathname2][filename2[.ext2]] is the destination pathname where
- files will be replaced.
-
- /A causes a file to be copied to the destination if the source file
- does not exist on the destination. Cannot be used with /S.
-
- /P causes REPLACE to ask before replacing or copying each file.
-
- /R allows read-only files on the destination to be replaced.
-
- /S causes a source file to replace files with that name in every
- subdirectory on the destination. Source subdirectories are not
- searched.
-
- /W causes REPLACE to wait for any key to be pressed before beginning
- to look for files to replace.
-
- /U restricts REPLACE to only replace files on the destination that are
- older than the matching files on the source. [new DOS 4.0]
