DIR List directory
--- ---- ---------
DIR [options] directory-spec [other dir-spec]
e.g., DIR >STUFF.DIR -elp LB:[1,1] SY:[305,100]
or DIR DIR *.C DIR SOR ,etc.
or DIR [1,2]*.HLP
Normally files are listed in alphabetical order, in 4 columns.
Its options are:
-1 Print in 1 column format
-d Don't sort.
-e Sort by extent, then name.
-l Print in long format
-p Include protection in -l format
-t Include totals in -l format
-v Include version numbers
Only the highest version is shown unless
-v or -d is specified.
Following the device/UIC, you may also give a file-name selector.
(This works just like the /SE switch in SRD).
This allows file names to selected based on a sub-set
string match. The selection is satisfied if the end of the
selector field is reached without finding a character that
does not match. The filename is considered to be a string
of 1 to 13 characters: 0 to 12 characters of name, a
period, and 0 to 3 characters of type, and semi-colon.
The selector is automatically terminated with the string: "*;".
The filename and the
specified template are compared one character at a time, until
the semicolons in each match. A semicolon may be explicitly
given as part of the selector; this will be used as the
termination point. If
the current template character is a "%" or "?", it will
match exactly one character of the filename. If the current
template character is "*", it will match 0 or more
characters in the filename.
More than one "*" in a row is treated as only one.
For example:
DIR M* or DIR M
This selects all files with "M" as the first character in
the name regardless of the rest of the name.
DIR M???X.*
This selects any file with a name starting with "M" having
any characters in 2nd, 3rd and 4th position, X in 5th
position.
DIR *SRD*
This selects all files having "SRD" anywhere in the
filename, such as : SRD.MAC, SRDATA.MAC, TKBSRD.CMD,
ABCC.SRD, etc.
DIR *.C
Will select ?.C, ?.CMD, ?.CDE, etc.
DIR *.C;
Will select ?.C files, but not ?.CMD, etc.
