REPLACE
Replaces files on a disk or adds files to a disk
See also <RENAME> <COPY> <XCOPY>
REPLACE is very similar to <COPY>, but several additional options are
available with REPLACE. It is used to update sets of files in a
target directory from those in a source directory.
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 3.2 and up
USE: REPLACE [d:][path]sourcefile [d:][targetpath][/A][/P][/R][/S][/W]
d: path sourcefile specifies the filenames on the source disk that will
replace the files on the destination disk.
d: targetpath specifies the destination drive and directory of the files
that are to be replaced.
/A causes REPLACE to add only the files that do not already exist on
the destination disk. /A cannot be used with /S or /U
/P causes REPLACE to prompt you whether or not you want to replace each
file.
/R causes REPLACE to replace the read only files as well as unprotected files
/S causes REPLACE to search all subdirectories on the destination path
for matching files. Matching files found in any subdirectory will
be REPLACEd. /S and /A can not be used together. subdirectories in the
source path are never searched.
/W causes REPLACE to wait for you to insert a disk before searching for
source files.
EXAMPLE: REPLACE A:TEST.BAS C:\ /S
REPLACE will replace any copy of the file TEST.DAT in any and all
directories on drive C: with the copy on drive A:
