Batch file to move file(s) to new location

Question

just need a simple batch file to move different files to a new location. Want it to do a cut and paste job. Don't want to have to specify a particular source file or location, just want to drop the file on the .bat and have it moved to the new location.

Thanks!

Answer 1

To move a file in batch call this command:

move "old_path" "new_path"

To overwrite files at the new path call move with a /Y switch:

move "old_path" "new_path" /Y
