Finding Files and Directories with the Dir Command
The Dir command offers a broad range of command line switches that makes looking for a file
faster than you might think. Remembering all of the command line switches isn??™t necessarily easy,
but you??™ll use some of them more often than you use others. In addition to command line switches,
you can use wildcard characters to extend the functionally of the search. See the ???Working with
Wildcard Characters??? sidebar in Chapter 14 for details on working with wildcard characters. This
command uses the following syntax:
DIR [drive:][path][filename] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L]
[/N] [/O[[:]sortorder]] [/P] [/Q] [/R] [/S] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/W]
[/X] [/4]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
/A[[:]attributes] Displays files with the specified attributes.
