deleting a directory:
CODE
RD /S /Q "c:\dossier autres\movie collectors\template\"


if the path contains spaces like in the above example,
you have to use " " to define the path.


create a directory:
CODE
md "c:\dossier autres\movie collectors\template"

deleting a file:
del /f "c:\programs\testfile.txt"

copying a file:
copy /y "d:\xpcd\testfile.txt" "c:\programs\testfile.txt"


With the copy-command you can simply overwrite an existing file (don't forget the /y-switch!), so you have not to delete the original file first!
I hope, that's what you're looking for newwink.gif
