The FILER command displays a menu of file management commands.
Most of the FILER commands require file names for parameters. A file name consists of the device, name
and extension.
dv:file_name.ext
A device name can consist of one to four characters followed by a colon (:). Some commands work only with
particular devices. Refer to each command for details.
FILER commands do not support subdirectories.
A file name can consist of one to eight characters, including letters, digits and the underscore (_).
A file extension begins with a period (.) and can consist of three characters, including letters, digits, and the
underscore (_). Some commands work only with a particular extension. Refer to each command for details.
Only the following FILER commands can be executed when memory or system protection is on:
UTILITY BACKUP
PRINT
VIEW
Copy
The COPY command creates duplicate copies of files. The original files are not affected.
At the FROM prompt specify the source file; at TO specify the destination file. Use of the asterisk is allowed
for file names and extensions.
It is advisable to use the FILER UTILITY BACKUP and FILER UTILITY RESTORE commands (instead of
FILER COPY) when copying all the files of the default backup device (for example FD:) to the default device
(ram disk) and vice versa.
Both system and memory protection must be off for this command to be active.
Options: /Confirm prompts for confirmation before each file is copied.
/Overwrite overwrites existing files without prompting for confirmation.
Syntax: FC <source_file> <dest_file>
Delete
The DELETE command removes files from the device.
A file specification is requested. The asterisk can be used for file names and extensions. If no device is spec
-
ified the default device is used.
The DELETE command will prompt for confirmation before each file is deleted. Both system and memory
protection must be off for this command to be active.
Options: /Noconfirm eliminates the confirmation prompt.
Syntax: FD <file_name>
