Using Directorys with MyDOS

[walter_J64bit]

OK, I know how to make a Directory how do you copy files in to that Directory?

Hello Walter

 

C

**,SUBDIRN.AME:

 

You can ofcourse copy from anywhere to everywhere. SUBDIRN.AME is just a name I made up. It too can be anything. Just make sure it ends with a colon (that's a : for those reading this and thinking "what's a colon?"). You also have to make sure there's no number on position 1. For instance 1FILE.TXT doesn't mean "do something with the file called 1FILE.TXT", but "do something with FILE.TXT on D1:"

 

BTW as you might have notice, I didn't use a period between both asterixes (that's these **). After a * or if the filename is 8 characters long, you don't need a period.

 

Greetings

OK, let say files are on D2: is this what I need to type in and the Dir is on D1:

 

C

the computer ask

File source,destination?

Than I put in

D2:ga**,D1:new

is that right?

You can use Toms Navigator as a Mydos DUP.SYS replacement, too.

Makes working with subdirectories fun.

 

Download it here.

No.

 

What that will do is copy all of the files that matches D2:ga** to D1:new. You'll end up with 1 file or possibly get an error if the name is used by a directory.

 

Should be D2:ga**, D1:new:

 

Don't forget the trailing colon.

And the NEW directory has to already be created.

I work with Turbo-BASIC and use "CopyFNF" for doing that: http://andymanone.dyndns.org/atarixle/boss/copyfnf.htm

Looks very useful. Which download should one select for English to get the "FNF?"

 

Thanks,

get this download ... on disk "bossx3d.atr" is the file "COPYFNF.TUR" ... but it is a beta (the program works well, but there are no error traps, and the program doesn't ask if it wants to overwrite a file). You can create folders and copy whole folders with any subfolders ... .
