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

hard disk but want to change the name of the copy from

REPORT to FACTS, type this command and press Enter:

COPY A:REPORT C:FACTS

To make a copy of this file on the diskette in drive A and assign

the name FACTS to the copy, type the following and press

Enter:

COPY A:REPORT A:FACTS

In this case, you must assign a new name to the copy, because

MS-DOS does not allow two files in the same directory to have

the same name.

For any of the previous examples, if you omit the drive identifier

(A: or C:), the COPY command uses the current drive. For

example, if the current drive is C and you want to copy the file

REPORT from drive A to drive C without changing the

filename, enter the command as follows:

COPY A:REPORT

MS-DOS writes the copy to drive C because drive C is the

current drive. You can save a few keystrokes by omitting the

drive identifier of the current drive, but it is equally correct to

include all the drive identifiers.

You can use wildcard characters to copy a group of files at one

time. A wildcard character stands for some other single

character or group of characters in the filenames. MS-DOS

recognizes two wildcard characters: * and ?. The asterisk

represents any group of characters and the question mark

represents any single character.
