In computing, replace is a command that is used to replace one or more existing computer files or add new files to a target directory. Files with a hidden or system attribute set cannot be replaced using replace. The command lists all files that are replaced. [1]

History

The replace command first appeared in MS-DOS 3.2 [2] and has been included in most versions of MS-DOS and compatibles such as FreeDOS [3] and PTS-DOS. [4] DR DOS 6.0 includes an implementation of the replace command. [5] The FreeDOS version was developed by Rene Ableidinger and is licensed under the GPL. [6] It is also included as a console command in IBM OS/2, [7] Microsoft Windows, [8] and ReactOS. The ReactOS version was developed by Samuel Erdtman and is licensed under the GPL. [9]

Example

The following command updates the files in C:\delivery\ with the .exe files from C:\source\

C:\>replace "C:\source\*.exe" C:\delivery
