C1566M-C (10/05) 57

If you entered the same command again (CD..) at the c:\9700> prompt and pressed the ENTER key, you would ﬁnally end up again at the root

directory as previously done. To proceed directly from the directory you are in to another directory, no matter where in the directory tree you are,

enter the total directory path of the location you wish to go to at the system prompt.

For example, to get to the C:\9700\BKUPTST directory from the root directory, type C:\> CD [directory path], and then press the ENTER key. You

will be at the C:\9700\BKUPTST> screen prompt.

Manipulating Files in the DOS Environment

The safest way to manipulate ﬁles is to do so from within the directory in which those ﬁles are located. This is because of the following reasons:

• If you enter a DIR command at the directory prompt, then the names of the ﬁle(s) you wish to manipulate are right there on the screen. This

reduces the risk of making simple mistakes, such as entering an incorrect ﬁle name as part of an erase command, for example.

• When using commands directed at ﬁle manipulation, the format of the command requires that the command name be listed ﬁrst, followed

by the ﬁle name to be acted upon. If you issue a command for a ﬁle that is in another directory, then you must enter the complete directory

path where that ﬁle is found in addition to the name of the ﬁle at which the command is directed.

The command formats (such as COPY, MOVE, RENAME, DELETE) for the most commonly used commands are provided with examples in the

Command Reference Table at the end of this section.

Using the Wild Card Character

The most commonly used wild card character recognized by DOS is the asterisk (*). The asterisk can be used as a placeholder to group ﬁles that

are going to be acted upon by the same DOS command. The asterisk helps you specify character positions that are of the “don’t care” type in ﬁle

names. When DOS encounters the asterisk, DOS ignores the characters in the position containing the wildcard as well as all the characters that

follow it.

The CM9700-CC1 conﬁguration ﬁles provide a good example of how the wildcard can be used.

Example 1

To copy conﬁguration ﬁles from the A ﬂoppy drive to the 9700 directory on the CC1 disk complete the following steps:

1. Change to the A: directory

2. At the A prompt type your command using the following syntax:

A:> copy [conﬁguration ﬁle name].* [destination].

For example, if the ﬁlename preﬁx for the conﬁguration ﬁles was “Node1”, type copy Node1.* C:\9700

3. Press the Enter key.

Example 2

To move conﬁguration ﬁles from the 9700 directory to another directory [previously created] for archiving purposes, complete the following steps:

1. Change to the 9700 directory.

2. Type your command using the following syntax:

C:\9700>copy [source] [destination]

For example, if the destination directory was “archive,” type copy Node1.* C:\archive

Since you are already in the 9700 directory, the source portion of the command consists only of the ﬁle name(s) to be moved. The

destination contains the path to the directory where the ﬁles are to be moved to.)

3. Press the Enter key.
