How to overwrite existing files in batch?

Question

The following command copies and moves a file but I also need it to overwrite the file it\'s replacing.

xcopy /s c:\\mmyinbox\\test.doc C:\\myoutbox

Answer 1

For copying one file to another directory overwriting without any prompt i ended up using the simply COPY command:

copy /Y ".\mySourceFile.txt" "..\target\myDestinationFile.txt"
