Hi <br />
<br />
I am in search for dos command which I need to include in the batch file. The code I am looking for is to copy excel files from a Upload folder and paste it in the archive sub folder(which sits in Upload folder). Each time I run batch file, it should copy files from Upload folder and paste in archive folder. If the files with same name exist inside archive folder, the dos command should over write only those files with latest files, leaving other files as they are.<br />
<br />
Hope you get my point.<br />
<br />
Any questions please let me know.<br />
<br />
Thank you

dos command to copy and paste excel files by overwriting the same file names

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
