Using the COPY Command
You can use the COPY command to copy files in several ways:
l
You can copy individual files from a diskette or the hard disk to
another diskette or hard disk
l
You can copy a group of files using wildcard characters
(wildcard characters are explained below)
l
You can copy one or more files and give them new names
l
You can combine or merge files into one file.
A few simple rules apply to all uses of COPY:
l
You must tell MS-DOS where to find the source file and where
to store the target file.
l
If an existing file on the target diskette or directory has the
same name as the file you are copying, the copy automatically
replaces the existing file. There is no warning that the existing
file is being replaced, so be careful that you do not accidentally
erase
a
file that you want to keep.
l
If you are copying to a diskette, the diskette must be formatted.
To use the COPY command, type
COPY
at the command prompt,
followed by the drive identifiers and necessary filenames. Then
press
Enter
to execute the command.
For example, to copy a file named REPORT from the diskette in
drive A to the hard disk (drive C), using the same name for the
copy as for the original file, type the following and press
Enter:
COPY A:REPORT C:
If you want to copy this file from the diskette in drive A to the hard
disk, but want to change the name of the copy from REPORT to
FACTS, type this command and press
Enter:
COPY A:REPORT C:FACTS
