Using Directories FDIRECTORY ↵ To view all the files in a subdirectory other than the current one, use a path. The command: FDIRECTORY D:\PROGS_2\DATA_1\ ↵ will display the contents of the DATA_1 subdirectory. To View Groups of Files Use wildcards to view a group of files. The command: FDIRECTORY *.v2 ↵ will display the files in the specified directory that have the extension "v2". The command: FDIRECTORY D:\PROGS_2\file*.* ↵ will display the files in the current directory that have names beginning with "file". To Create a Subdirectory To create a new subdirectory directly below the current directory, enter the command:
FDIRECTORY/C dir_name ↵ A full path can also be used when creating a subdirectory: FDIRECTORY/C D:\PROGS_2\DATA_1\dir_name ↵ To Delete a Subdirectory NOTE: After a directory has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. Before a subdirectory can be deleted, the subdirectory must be empty (no disk files and no subdirectories can be in the directory). The command: FDELETE *.* ↵ will delete all the files (but not subdirectories) in the current subdirectory.
Since all file-related commands look only at the current directory or the directory specified at the end of a path, files in any other directories are not accessed regardless of whether they are above, below, or on the same level as the current directory. The subdirectory DATA_1 can be deleted with either of the following groups of commands (assuming there are no files in DATA_1): FDELETE D:\PROGS_2\DATA_1\*.* ↵ FDIRECTORY/D D:\PROGS_2\DATA_1 ↵ or: CD D:\PROGS_2 ↵ eV+Operating System User's Guide, v2.x, 18320-000 Rev A Page 44
