CMD ****s, why won't this simple command work ?

[nvrmnd]

I'm trying to move multiple files :

move blah.cpp, blah.hpp, blah2.cpp, blah2.hpp F:\cpp\blah

And all i get is an annoying message :

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

Is there anything wrong ?

You don't use commas to differentiate input. Have you ever used the parameters of main(int, char* []) ?

they can be comma seperated on windows. i dont think they are on windows, but on *nix systems ive seen commas, semicolons, colons, and whitespace (the classic one) as seperators

[nvrmnd]

It doesn't work either

[Dy7SLyTq]

i think you misunderstood what xerzi was saying. what you want to do is put all of the .cpp files in a folder then (x)copy the folder to f:\path

You cannot name more than one file (or directory) to move unless you're using wildcards. The "/?" information is incorrect.

I think that was a 6.0 feature that was almost immediately dropped. (The syntax was wonky to begin with anyway.)

Use wildcards or a for command:

C:\fooey> for %F in (blah.cpp blah.hpp blah2.cpp blah2.hpp) do @move %F F:\cpp\blah

If you are putting this in a batch file, be sure to double those % signs.
