- Move 2.2a
- ---------
- Written by Asher Feldman
-
- Note: Move requires the Copy, Rename, and Delete commands in your c directory.
-
- Move 2.2a requires kickstart 2.04 or higher.
-
- Changes since 2.2
- -----------------
- Move 2.2 didn't work right with the '*' wildcard, even after it was
- activated. This has been fixed, but in the process, Move grew to
- a huge 872 bytes. :-(
-
- What is it?
- -----------
- Move is a simple Un*x like "move" command. It allows you to move files
- to and from any device or directory. It performs the same function as the
- Move command on a directory utility, but from the CLI or Shell. It can
- also be used as a Rename command. Move supports true (rename style) moves
- when moving files on the same device, while still allowing you to move files
- across volumes.
-
- Move will also allow you to move file links, and supports all standard 2.x
- wildcards.
-
- Usage
- -----
- Move [FROM] <arg1> [TO] <arg2>
-
- (The [FROM] and [TO] are optional)
-
- <arg1> is the file you want to move. It can contain wildcards, such as
- "#?.lha". Or "*.lha" if you are using a program such as Starburst to
- enable the * wildcard on your system.
-
- <arg2> is the destination. It can be a filename, directory or device.
- The "" wildcard may be used here, and stands for your current directory.
-
- To move the file "readme" to ram: you would enter: (FROM and TO not needed)
-
- Move FROM readme TO ram:
-
-
- To move all files that have the prefix "mod" to the directory DH0:Music
- you would enter:
-
- Move mod* DH0:Music
-
- To move "ram:readme" to your current directory you would enter:
-
- Move ram:readme ""
-
- If you want to move every file in one directory to another, it would be:
-
- Move <dir> <dir>
-
- Move can also be used to rename a file. To change the name of the file
- "SONG.MOD" to "MOD.SONG" you would enter:
-
- Move SONG.MOD MOD.SONG
-
- You can move multiple files without using wildcards as well. For example,
- to move the files "lha", "uux", and "slect" to c:
