command-line - Using Windows commandline, how can I completely replace one folder with another?

Question

So far I have it to where I can copy all the files from c:\Users\John\Folder1 to c:\Users\John\Folder2.

But I am looking to completely swap the folders.

e.g. Replace c:\Users\John\Folder1 with c:\Users\John\SomeFolder\Folder1.

I have this right now: xcopy c:\Users\John\SomeFolder\* c:\Users\John\Folder1 /s /i

This just copies all the files from the c:\Users\John\SomeFolder\Folder1 to c:\Users\John\Folder1 but leaves the files that had been there prior. I want the entire folder to be replaced. If the new folder I am copying no longer has those files, I want them deleted.

Sorry if this is confusing - any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

多分私はあなたのポイントを完全に逃していますが、これは仕事をしませんか？（例）：

rename Folder1 transit
rename Folder2 Folder1
rename transit Folder2

Answer 2

I think you can create a batch file to do this.

The pseudo-code:

1. Erase contents of directory 1
2. Copy the contents from directory 1 to directory 2

The code: Create a file called swapFiles.bat in your notepad, and enter the following code:

rd /s %1
mkdir %1
xcopy /s /i %2\* %1

How to use it:

swapFiles c:\Users\directory1 c:\Users\directory2

directory1 is the old directory (i.e. the one that will be wiped out)

Hope this helps you

Answer 3

This will mirror the first folder to the second.

Be very careful that the paths are correct.

@echo off
robocopy "c:\Users\John\SomeFolder\Folder1" "c:\Users\John\Folder1" /mir

Answer 4

このフォルダーc：\ Users \ John \ SomeFolderを削除してから、folder1をコピーしますか？そうであれば、このコードで問題が発生する可能性があります。

@echo off

robocopy /s c:\Users\John\Folder1 c:\Users\John\SomeFolder\Folder1
rmdir /s /q c:\Users\John\Folder1
