Change Directory eXtended (CDX) v1.00 Documentation
Copyright (c) 1993 Andrew Powell
Features
────────
■ More powerful than DOS's CD.
■ No more typing in of long directory names.
■ Can change drives as well as directories
Use
───
The program can recognize stars '*' and question marks '?' in
the selection of directories. All communication with the program is done
via the command line. For example:
CD\LANGUAGE\MASM\BIN
could be replaced with:
CDX \L*\M*\B*
This will find any directory starting with the letter L. It might
not necesseraly find the directory LANGUAGE it could find LAB if that comes
before LANGUAGE in the directory tree. (To find the order type DIR *. at
the DOS prompt) More examples: consider this sample directory tree:

Example 1:
──────────
CDX \V*\I*\C*
would change to the directory \VB\ICONS\COMM. If you wanted to change to
the directory \VB\ICONS\COMPUTER you would type:
CDX \V*\I*\COMP*
Example 2:
──────────
CDX C:\I*E
would change to the disk C: and to the directory \INCLUDE
Example 3:
──────────
CDX \D*V*\MM\SH*\MM4???
would be the same as CD\DEVELOP\MM\SHAR\MM42S. This shows all the features
of CDX as far as the use of the * and the ?
Example 4:
──────────
CDX D:\TE*
would change to a directory on drive D: beginning with TE. This shows that
CDX can change across drives as well as directories.
Example 5:
──────────
from the directory C:\VB\SAMPLES if you type
CDX CO*
you would change into the directory C:\VB\SAMPLES\CONTROLS
