Q. Options with DIR in DOS?

You can use a number of options with DIR.

To get the list of files from any other drive, denote the drive name followed by ':' with DIR. For example, if drive C is the current drive and you want to get list of files from a disk in drive B, type DIR C: and then press enter key.

To get review of the directory listening, use/ W after DIR, e.g. DIR/W or DIR C: /W. with the '/W' option, DOS shows only the file names. It does not display file size and date/ time of creation/ modification of files.

If the directory listening is too long to adjust on the monitor, it scrolls up on the screen so immediately that you may not be able to read it. In such a condition, you can use '/P' option with DIR to get the directory listening page sensible. For example, you can try DIR /P or DIR A: /P. Now, it will show the first page of the directory listening and pause. You can take your time to study the list.
