DOS Directories and Files

Check for a Group of Files

The * symbol is referred to as a wildcard and stands for any character or group of characters. This is helpful when we want to list files that start with a particular letter or group.

Directions:

1. Type: dir c* and press Enter.

2. All filenames that begin with the letter C will be listed.

3. Press the F3 key.

4. Backspace twice and replace C* with A* and press Enter.

5. All filenames that begin with the letter A are listed.
