Solve : Cut & Paste in DOS prompt...?

Answer»

Hey I was wondering if you any of you GUYS could tell me how to cut and paste files from one folder to another folder. Yes, I do know that you can copy, paste, delete... Is there a way to make it faster though with cut and paste? No. If you are TALKING about 2 folders, which may change EVERY time you want to copy or move, the answer is no.

If you are talking about the same 2 folders, every time, than the answer is yes. And, in that case, we NEED a little more info. Also, you should tell us more about conditions: in what condition a file will be deleted, or in what condition a file will be copied.This is why I want to cut and paste: Whenever I download stuff from the internet I typically want to move it from one folder to another. So I download to say X:\Downloads and I want to cut and paste to a folder called X:\Mods. So is there a way to cut the files from "Downloads" to the folder called "Mods" with Xcopy or Copy? The files will never change... they will stay the same. So Im not really trying to delete anything.. Im trying to "cut" the files so whenever I get a big file it doesn't take but two seconds to travel to the same folder on the same partition.

Revxcopy c:\downloads c:\mod /s/e works in real DOS. Try it in command prompt.The command only copies files to and FRO one place to another. :/ I was using command prompt also... Isnt command prompt dos...
