Command groups
File system command group
Use the commands in the File System Command Group to help you use the
built-in hard disk drive. You can use the commands to do the following:
List the contents of the current directory
Create and delete directories
Create, copy, read, rename, or delete a file
When using these commands, keep the following points in mind:
File arguments are always enclosed within double quotes:
“C:\MYDIR\TEK00001.SET”
File names follow the MS-DOS format: [DRIVE:][\PATH\]filename
Path separators can be either forw ard slashes (/) or b ack slashe s (\)
NOTE. Using a back slash as a path separator can p roduce some unexpected
results, depending on how your controller application treats escaped characters.
Many applications recognize the sequence of a back slash followed by an
alphabetic character as an escaped character, and, as such, interpret that
alphabetic character as a control character. For example, the sequence “\n”
might be interpreted as a newline character; “\t” might be interpreted as a tab
character. To ensure that this interpretation does n ot occur, you can use double
back slashes. For example, “C:\\testfile.txt”.
Some FILESystem commands can fail because a file has read-only attributes.
You will not be able to delete or replace such files until this attribute is
removed. Refer to the operating system help on file properties for further
information.
