Of course, this is the simplest case, in the actual use, will encounter a very complex situation.

If a file named test.txt already exists in the root directory of disk D, the copy command will prompt you whether to overwrite the original file, discard copying or overwrite all files when copying it. If you are in batch copy, all overwrite the original file, then, one by one choice is very troublesome, at this time, you can use without prompt to overwrite the original file parameter / y (equivalent to automatically selecting the Yes option), the complete command is copy / y d:\ test\ test.txt d:\.

If you also need to change the name of the source file when copying, for example, when changing test.txt to 1.txt, you can directly use the command such as copy d:\ test\ test.txt d:\ 1.txt, that is, when you specify the destination path, specify the file name directly, then the new file name is the name after the source file is copied.

If the path you want to copy contains special symbols such as spaces, &, etc., enclose these special characters in quotation marks, such as: copy "d:\ test abc\ test.txt"d:\ t&est"

In addition to the function of "copying" files, the copy command also has a unique skill: merge multiple files into one file, the specific format is: copy file 1 + file 2 + file 3 +. Destination path\ new file name. For example: copy d:\ test.txt+d:\ abc.txt d:\ test\ test.txt, then merge the contents of the test.txt and abc.txt files in the root directory of the D disk into test.txt and save them to the d:\ test directory.

Copy also has some parameters, but the most commonly used ones are the above usage. For more uses, please use copy /? in the command line window. To inquire, it's easy to get started.

It must be noted that copy can only copy files, for folder replication, you need to be smart, use xcopy to copy.
