:Basic Use of XDIR3 under ZCPR2
XDIR3 is invoked by one of the following command lines:
XDIR afn oooo... or XDIR afn /oooo...
and
XDIR /oooo...
where all elements after the XDIR command are optional.
Aa - Set the attributes of the files to be displayed
a=S for System Files, a=N for Non-System Files
a=A for All Files (Non-System and System)
D - Send Output to Disk
Ff - Engage File Name Buffer Facility
f=L to Log File Names to FNAMES.DIR
f=P to Print Names Stored in FNAMES.DIR
f=S to Scan Disk and Compare to FNAMES.DIR
I - Inspect files selected by FL option
N - Negate Selection; select those files which do NOT
match the ambiguous file name
Oo - Toggle Output Control Options
o=A for File Attributes, o=F for Form Feed
o=G for Grouping, o=H for Horiz/Vert Format
P - Send Output to Printer
PF - Same as POF (Abbreviated Form)
'afn' is an ambiguous file reference, of the general form:
dir:filename.typ
where
filename.typ is a conventional CP/M ambiguous file name
(wild card characters of ? and * are OK,
but file name must NOT start with /)
dir: is a ZCPR2 directory specification, which may
be one of the following forms:
d: where 'd' is a disk letter (A-P) to indicate
the current user area on that disk
u: where 'u' is a user number (0-31) to indicate
that user on the current disk; 'u' may
be a '?', in which case all user areas
are selected
du: where 'du' specifies both disk and user
name: where 'name' is the name of a directory
(disk/user area)
XDIR ROOT:*.COM AAN
-- Select All Files in directory ROOT which do
NOT match *.COM
XDIR B10: ASD
-- Select the System Files in B10, and send
output to disk as well as console
