copied!<p>You can use <code>move</code> for this. The documentation from <code>help move</code> states:</p> <pre><code>Moves files and renames files and directories. To move one or more files: MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination To rename a directory: MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2 [drive:][path]filename1 Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move. destination Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you are moving only one file, you can also include a filename if you want to rename the file when you move it. [drive:][path]dirname1 Specifies the directory you want to rename. dirname2 Specifies the new name of the directory. /Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. /-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from within a batch script. </code></pre> <hr> <p>See the following transcript for an example where it initially shows the <code>qq1</code> and <code>qq2</code> directories as having three and no files respectively. Then, we do the <code>move</code> and we find that the three files have been moved from <code>qq1</code> to <code>qq2</code> as expected.</p> <pre><code>C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents>dir qq1 Volume in drive C is Primary Volume Serial Number is 04F7-0E7B Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq1 20/01/2011 11:36 AM <DIR> . 20/01/2011 11:36 AM <DIR> .. 20/01/2011 11:36 AM 13 xx1 20/01/2011 11:36 AM 13 xx2 20/01/2011 11:36 AM 13 xx3 3 File(s) 39 bytes 2 Dir(s) 20,092,547,072 bytes free C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents>dir qq2 Volume in drive C is Primary Volume Serial Number is 04F7-0E7B Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq2 20/01/2011 11:36 AM <DIR> . 20/01/2011 11:36 AM <DIR> .. 0 File(s) 0 bytes 2 Dir(s) 20,092,547,072 bytes free </code></pre> <p> </p> <pre><code>C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents>move qq1\* qq2 C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq1\xx1 C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq1\xx2 C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq1\xx3 </code></pre> <p> </p> <pre><code>C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents>dir qq1 Volume in drive C is Primary Volume Serial Number is 04F7-0E7B Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq1 20/01/2011 11:37 AM <DIR> . 20/01/2011 11:37 AM <DIR> .. 0 File(s) 0 bytes 2 Dir(s) 20,092,547,072 bytes free C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents>dir qq2 Volume in drive C is Primary Volume Serial Number is 04F7-0E7B Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Pax\My Documents\qq2 20/01/2011 11:37 AM <DIR> . 20/01/2011 11:37 AM <DIR> .. 20/01/2011 11:36 AM 13 xx1 20/01/2011 11:36 AM 13 xx2 20/01/2011 11:36 AM 13 xx3 3 File(s) 39 bytes 2 Dir(s) 20,092,547,072 bytes free </code></pre>
