- REPLACE Reads the names of all files in the TARGET
- directory and compares them with names of
- the files in the SOURCE. Will only update
- (REPLACE) those files that MATCH. (The /A
- switch allows for ADDing new files.)
-
- Format: REPLACE [D:Path]SourceFile [Dest D:\Path]
- [/A][/P][/R][/S][/W]
-
- /A ADDS files from the SOURCE location that do not
- have MATCHING filenames on the TARGET.
-
- /P PROMPTs the user for a response of [Y] prior to
- completing the requested REPLACE operation.
-
- /R allows files that are marked as READ-ONLY on the
- TARGET directory to be REPLACED.
-
-
- /S searches through all SUBDIRECTORIES on TARGET
- for files that match the REPLACE criteria and
- then performs the requested REPLACE action(s).
-
- /W WAITS for the user to place a new diskette in
- the TARGET drive before executing the command.
-
-
-
-
- Example: REPLACE \123\*.* A:
-
- REPLACEs ALL files on the diskette in drive A that
- have filenames that MATCH those that are contained
- in the \123 directory of the CURRENT drive.
-
-
-
- Example: REPLACE \123\*.WK1 A: /R
-
- REPLACEs all files with a .WK1 extension on the
- diskette in drive A: that MATCH the filenames
- contained in the \123 directory on CURRENT drive.
- The /R switch ensures that matching READ-ONLY
- files are also REPLACEd on A:.
-
-
-
- Example: REPLACE \123\*.WK1 A: /R /W
-
- Same as above, except the system will display a
- PROMPT that causes the system to WAIT until you
- ensure that drive A: contains proper diskette.
-
-
-
- Example: REPLACE A:*.TXT C:\WP\DATA1 /R /S /W
-
- REPLACEs all *.TXT files in the C:\WP\DATA1
- directory (AND the *.TXT files in any of it's
- lower subdirectories) that MATCH the names of
- the *.TXT files contained on the diskette in
- drive A.
-
-
- Example: REPLACE \123\*.WK1 A: /A
-
- ADDs ALL files with extension of .WK1 contained
- in the \123 directory of the CURRENT drive that
- do NOT already exist on the diskette in drive A.
- (e.g., MATCHING files not found.) Existing files
- are NOT updated/replaced.)
-
-
-
- [*] Do NOT use the /A and /S switches together.
-
- [*] Be cautious when using the /S switch because
- it will also REPLACE all files on the TARGET,
- including those in ALL lower subdirectories,
- that match the files on the source.
