For
another
example, perhaps we tried this:
dir
8*.*
These files would be listed:
80PRICES.AVG
81PRICES.JAN
81
PRICES.JU
L
81PRICES.AUG
And
if
you type:
dir
*.*
all the files would be listed.
You can use
both
global filename characters together.
For
example,
if
you
type:
dir
??p*.a*
you
would see these files listed:
79PRICES.AVG
80PRICES.AVG
81PRICES.AUG
Global characters are fun,
but
you
need
to
be careful
both
in naming
your
files and in using
them-you
may
get results
you
didn't
expect!
