there are five files with the names FILE1.TXT - FILE5.TXT. The
following DIR command would only list those files:
>DIR FILE?. TXT
FILE1.TXT FILE2.TXT FILE3,TXT
FILE4.TXT FILE5.TXT
or
>DIR A?FILE.COM
AAFILE.COM ACFILE.CCM A4FILE.COM
The'*' wildcard replaces the entire extension or file name. The
example below will list all files with the extension ,HBA:
>DIR *.HBA
PROG1 .HBA PROG2,HBA START .HBA
or
>DIR MYFILE. *
MYFILE.TXT MYFILE.Ca-1 MYFILE.HBA
