DIR

    To display a listing of files from the specified path.

Syntax

    DIR [<drive>] [<path>] [<skeleton>]

Options

    Skeleton: The <skeleton> is a standard wildcard (* and ?) notation
    for files.  If specified, DIR displays all matching files.  If not
    specified, DIR displays a list of database (.dbf) files.

Usage

    DIR displays two formats of listing depending on whether you specify a
    <skeleton>.  Not specifying a skeleton displays a standard listing of
    database files from the current directory and includes the database
    filename, date of last update, and number of records.  Specifying a
    skeleton displays a list of files including filename, extension, number
    of bytes, and date of last update.

    To create applications where you present directory information to the
    user, use ADIR() instead of DIR.  ADIR() allows you to fill a number of
    arrays with the attributes of files.  Then with these arrays you can
    create any kind of file selection or display menu.
