[lA] [lD] [lP] [lR] [IS] [lW]
Updates previous versions of files.
Parameters
I A adds new files to the target directory instead of replacing
existing ones. Do not use this switch with
ID
or
IS.
ID
replaces files in the target directory only if the source files are
newer than the corresponding target files. Do not use this switch
with IA.
IP prompts you before replacing a target file or adding a source
file.
Replace (filename)
?
(YIN) _
IR
replaces read-only files as well as unprotected files. If you do
not specify this switch, any attempt to replace a read-only file
causes an error and stops the replace process.
IS
searches all subdirectories of the target directory while
replacing matching files. This switch is incompatible with the IA
switch. REPLACE never searches subdirectories in the source
path.
!W waits for the user to press a key before replacing files. If you
do not specify this switch, REPLACE begins replacing or adding
files immediately.
Notes and Suggestions
• The REPLACE command lets you easily update files on your
hard disk with new versions of software.
• The REPLACE command replaces files in the target directory
with files from the source directory that have the same name.
You may use wildcards in source filenames.
• When you specify the IA switch, REPLACE adds to the target
directory all files that exist in the source directory but not in
the target directory.
