Question

How do I cut and paste one file from one directory to another directory? I want to do this task using the Command Prompt.

I know I can do this by using the GUI, but I am curious about if I can do this using batch scripting since I am trying to learn it.

Answer 1

mv in unix-ish systems, move in dos/windows.

e.g.

C:\> move c:\users\you\somefile.txt   c:\temp\newlocation.txt

and

$ mv /home/you/somefile.txt /tmp/newlocation.txt
