Solve : MSDOS command directory changes.?

Answer»

Can't remember this one!

I want to change directory in dos.
However the directory name is two words: I.E. mydirectory.
What character do i use to make it all one string:-?
EG: CD mydirectory

Cheers

Uncle Remuscd "my directory" ?cd "my directory" GIVES an error report: "too many parameters -directory".
There must be a key stroke used to fill spaces, DOS does not accept spaces in a directory name when ENTERING a command.







Are you really using MS-DOS or just some VARIATION of a Windows cmd or command box?

Try using the short name:

cd MYDIRE~1

8-)

In the future, please mention your OS for a more specific response.If you are using the Command Prompt in Windows.XP try opening CMD.EXE instead of COMMAND.COM (Start>Run cmd)

Remember - [highlight]always[/highlight] POST your operating system

Good luckSorry GUYS,

I should have pointed out i was using XP command prompt. I did get access using command mydire~1 so thanks for the tip.
