I'm new to DOS, can someone give me the command that will display a directory listing that shows the files one page at a time and ordered by the smallest file up to the largest file, please. Ta.Welcome to CH.

for your question, try this

dir C:\ /os /p

this will display it one page at a time
/p

and this sorts the files smallest to largest in file size
/osHi,

The command your after "dir"

If you open a command prompt (I'm guessing your using XP) and type "dir /?" it will display the help page. This will give you a list about all the switch's available and their descriptions.

From memory I think it's "dir /OS /P"


Hope it helps.


EDIT: Grrrrr, you got there before me......just....Hi and THANKS guys, works beautifully. You don't really "help" people if you tell them how to do their homework.It's not homework, I'm studying for a test tomorrow and reviewing past questions and as it is late where I am I thought I would try a forum and see if anyone was willing to help, thankfully there was. I'm very new to DOS and to forums but I thought that was the purpose...to find help from those in the know, generous ENOUGH to pass it on. Like I said, homework.
Lol.

Come on Dias, we can point them in the RIGHT direction.

*I think we went beyond that here*I am just amazed that anybody can be facing a test involving command line stuff and they don't know to type

dir /?

at the prompt.
