Dos command
I used the "dir" command in dos to list all the folders and file in that
directory. However, I want to go into a folder called "A" in the directory just listed. What is the command for this at the prompt? |

What is the command for this at the prompt? There is a nice program called Directory Lister for Windows that generates a HTML page with whatever directories you want on a computer. I use it, along with a search & replace to do most of the grunt work to create index pages for photos or PDF files. http://freeware.prv.pl/ -- Service to my country?

Dos command
ChDir Statement
Changes the current directory or folder. Syntax ChDir path The required path argument is a string expression that identifies which directory or folder becomes the new default directory or folder. The path may include the drive. If no drive is specified, ChDir changes the default directory or folder on the current drive. Remarks The ChDir statement changes the default directory but not the default drive. For example, if the default drive is C, the following statement changes the default directory on drive D, but C remains the default drive: ChDir "D:\TMP" -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Richard" <nomailplease.com wrote in message ...

Dos command
You could use:
C:\DIR A\*.* to get a directory of the folder without actually changing to it, or you could use C:\CD A To switch to the A folder (the prompt would then be C:\A) And then just plain "DIR" Richard wrote: I used the "dir" command in dos to list all the folders and file in that directory.
