Solve : Ms-dos command prompt question for computer class using windows XP?

Answer»

I have two questions on a lab that I have due for a "Window XP command prompt" class. I'm having trouble FINDING the commands in my text book to do what the question is wanting. I am hoping that someone ELSE has had this before and can TELL me what command I need to enter.

Here are the two questons:

1. Issue the command to display only .TXT files with short file names.

2. Issue the command to display only .TXT files with short file names sorted by name.

I know that part of the command will be DISPLAYED as follows for each of them:

C:\>DIR *.TXT

But I don't know what to put after that to display the short file names.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.Welcome to the CH forums.

Thank you for COMING straight out and telling us it's homework which we don't usually assist with but...

At the command prompt enter DIR/? to view the options list. Study all the options but particularly the /O and /X options.

Good luck
