A few simple rules apply when copying files:

You must tell MS-DOS where to find the source file

and where to write the target file.

You cannot create a new file with the same name as an

existing file.

If a file on the target diskette has the same name as a file on

the source diskette, the copy automatically replaces the file

on the target diskette. There is no warning that the file on

the target diskette is being replaced, so be careful that you

do not accidentally erase a file you want to keep.

The target diskette must be a formatted diskette.

To copy a file, simply type the COPY command and the file-

names at the command prompt, and then press Enter.

To copy a file from the diskette in drive A to the diskette in

drive B using the same name, type:

COPY A:REPORT.EXT B:

If you want to copy a file from the diskette in drive A to the

diskette in drive B using a new name, type:

COPY A:REPORT.EXT B:FACTS.EXT

To copy a file onto the same diskette with a new name, type:

COPY REPORT FACTS

In this case, you can omit the drive identifier because the source

and target files are on the current drive.

An easy way to copy a group of files is by using wildcard charac-

ters in the filenames. You can use two wildcard characters: *

and ?. The asterisk represents any group of characters and the

question mark represents any single character.
