If I assume the computer subdirectory has 3 files: Mydocumentt.doc, mycomputer,doc and ourcomputer.doc. What commad do I need to delete all 3 at the same time?
Is it DELTREE?

CAN You tell me what command to write to copy files biggining with the letter x, ending D and having any extention on drive A?

How can I write a a command to perform a quick format of a diskettte in drive A with the lavel "World2" not using the path structure?

Thanks for all this help

 

Hi omedodoza,


deltree
if you are running Win98 or below

then in DOS deltree *.doc ran from the subdirectory will delete all files with the *.doc extension

I cant remember if deltree MY*.doc would delete all files with the extension .doc and beginning with MY ... its worth a try though. I dont have deltree on this XP box.. only a more advanced version of del.

Try typing Deltree /? for more information on the deltree command ~ its a little bit cryptic though, but its a try.

copy files
to copy multiple files... beginning with a letter (x) the command would be copy x*.doc A:

you could also do this copy xr*.doc A: (e.g)

car.doc
bat.doc
xray.doc
bin.doc
xrack.doc
xrack.jpg

copy xr*.doc A: would copy
xray.doc
xrack.doc

the commands copy xr*.* a: would copy all files beginning with xr and with any extension:

xray.doc
xrack.doc
xrack.jpg

I couldnt tell you off hand if its possible to copy files ending with specific letters...

quick format & label
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'path struture' so If this is it dont flame me for it

PHP:

format A: /Q /V:World2

• 
  format --- format command
  A: --- drive
  /Q --- quick format
  /V:World2 --- new volume label (including label command)

hope that helps

Ian.
