DIR Used to determine the location of files on the
disk and to view the directory structure. Also
provides info on file sizes and dates.
Format: DIR [D:Path][FileSpec] [/P] [/W]
/P PAUSES at the end of each screen of directory
listings instead of normal scrolling.
/W displays directory listing in a WIDE format
(Five column display without the size, date,
and time information.)
Example: DIR
Displays listings of subdirectories and ALL files
contained in the CURRENT directory in a one column
format showing filename.ext, size, date and time.
Example: DIR *.BAT
Lists ONLY those files in the CURRENT directory that
have an extension of .BAT in a one column, scrolling
display format.
Example: DIR \123\*.WK1 /P
Lists ONLY those files in the \123 directory that
have an extension of .WK1 in a one column format and
PAUSES at the end of each screen.
Example: DIR \123\*.WK1 /P/W
Same as above, except display is in the five column
format which omits size, date and time. (Useful for
viewing directories that contain a large number of
files.)
Example: DIR A:
Lists ALL files contained on the diskette residing
on drive A in the one column, scrolling format.
Example: C:\> DIR D:\WP\DATA\*.TXT
Lists ONLY those files in the \WP\DATA subdirectory
on drive D: that have an extension of *.TXT in the
one column, scrolling format. (Note: Command was
issued while in the ROOT directory of drive C.)
Example: DIR \WP\DATA\*.TXT|SORT >LPT1
Causes a listing of ALL *.TXT files contained on
the \WP\DATA subdirectory on the CURRENT drive to
be REDIRECTED to your LPT1 printer, instead of
being displayed on the monitor screen. With the
addition of the SORT filter command, this listing
will also be printed in alphabeltical order.
Example: DIR \WP\DATA\*.TXT|SORT >WPTEXT.BAK
Same as above, except the directory listing is
placed in a file named WPTEXT.BAK on the CURRENT
directory. This file can then either be printed
using the COPY or PRINT commands or displayed on
the screen using the TYPE command.
[*] The DIR command will display listings of ANY
drive and subdirectory, regardless of your current
location on the drive, provided you indicate the
desired [D:][Path] parameters in your command.
[*] Do NOT use SORT with the /P and /W switches.
