CMD+Command

Syntax Copies one or more files to another location. COPY [/A | /B] source [/A | /B] [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination] [/A | /B]] [/V] [/Y | /-Y] The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format). Examples Copy all files in the current directory to the floppy disk drive. Copy the autoexec.bat, usually found at [|root], and copy it into the windows directory; the autoexec.bat can be substituted for any file(s). Copy the win.ini file in the current directory to the windows directory. Because this file already exists in the windows directory it normally would prompt if you wish to overwrite the file. However, with the /y switch you will not receive any prompt. Copy the contents in myfile2.txt and [|combines] it with the contents in myfile1.txt. Finally, a user can create a file using the copy con command as shown above, which creates the test.txt file. Once the above command has been typed in, a user could type in whatever he or she wishes. When you have completed creating the file, you can save and exit the file by pressing **CTRL+Z**, which would create ^Z, and then press enter. An easier way to view and edit files in MS-DOS would be to use the [|edit command].
