If
FILE4 WORK
is
located, the line containing it becomes
the first line
on
the screen (and
is
highlighted).
If
it isn't
found, a message will tell you so.
Variations on the FILELIST Command: You can use the
FILELIST command to display a list of
an
the files on your
A-disk or only
some of the files.
You can ask for a list that contains all files that have the
same filename, or the same filetype,
or
all files that begin
with a certain letter, etc.
If
you
don't
specify a letter for "filemode," a filemode
of
A
is
assumed.
If
you specified B, all files
on
the B disk would
be listed.
To see a list of all the files on your A-disk with the filetype
WORK, you would enter:
FILEL
*
WORK
The asterisk means "all." Typing an asterisk where you'd
normally type a filename means that you want the list to
contain all filenames with the filetype work.
The FILELIST command can also
be
used to list files having
the same filename,
but
different filetypes. Just use an
asterisk where you would normally type the filetype.
For
example:
FILEL
FILEl
...
The list would contain all files whose filename
is
FILE
1.
If
you want
to
create a file and
don't
remember if you
already have a file with the file label you want to use, you
can enter:
FILEL
filename
fi
letype
If
the file exists, the file list will show only that file.
If
not, a
message tells you that the file was
not
found.
