DOS Directories and Files

Check for a Single File

Instead of using the directory command to look for one particular file, we can type the name of the file after the DIR command at the C:\> prompt.

Directions:

1. Make sure that we are at our C:\> prompt.

2. Type: dir format.com (filename.extension) and press Enter.

3. The screen will display a listing of the file or a file not found message.
