AIM – STUDY OF DOS FILE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS

1. COPY : a. To copy the BCA.DOC file from the DOS directory which is in C drive to
the STUDENT sub-directory, type the following command and press Enter key.
Syntax : Copy [d:] [path] <source filename> [d:] [path] <target filename>

b. To copy the diskette in drive A to the diskette in drive B

Example : DISKCOPY A: B:

c. XCOPY : This is an external command to copy files. To some extent, it is similar to

the COPY command. However ,for copying multiple files, XCOPY is more flexible and
fast. Example : C:>XCOPY A:*.COM C:
C:>XCOPY A: C:/s
C:>XCOPY C:\DOS\*.COM A:/P

d. This command copies the contents of the file chapter2 to another file named C2 in the
same drive. C:\>COPY C:chapter2 C2

e. This command copies the contents of the file CHAPTER2 to the diskette. The copied
file will have the source file name since it is not mentioned.
C:\COPY CHAPTER2 D:

f. This command copies the file CHAPTER2 to the diskette. The copied file will have the
filename as C2. C:\>COPY CHAPTER2 A:C2

g. Several files can be copied by a single command by using wild card character.
C:\COPY *.DOC A:
This command copies all the files with extension .DOC to the diskette. The copy files will
have the same name as the source filename.

h. This command makes a copy of the file letter.doc called mail.doc; both files remain on
the active disk and in the same directory.
C:\COPY letter.doc mail.doc
i. To copy the files with a .DOC extension to the WORD directory in drive E, type the
following command and press enter key. COPY *.DOC E:\WORD

2. COPY CON : It creates a text file.

Syntax : COPY CON [drive:] Filename

4
 CON is the common name of keyboard and the screen. It refers to the console or
monitor.
Examples :
a. Type C:\>COPY CON letter.doc. then type something and save by pressing Ctrl+Z or
F6.

b. The following command will execute by giving the primary file name. When START
is typed in DOS prompt, it will perform,
i). Copy all the files from A: drive
ii). Display the directory listing of C: drive, page wise.
C:\>COPY CON START.BAT
COPY A:\*.*
DIR/P
^Z or F6

3. TYPE : This command displays the contents of a file on the screen

Syntax : C:\>TYPE <FileName>
Example : C:\>TYPE CHAP1
TYPE CHAP>PRN
Wild card and character cannot be used with this command.

4. ERASE/DEL : This command is used to remove file from the disk. To erase a file from
the other drive/directory, the path should be specified.
Syntax : C:\>DEL <FileName>
Example : DEL A:C2
C:\>DEL *.DOC
C:\DEL A:*.*

5. EDIT : This command starts MS-Dos screen editor, which is used to create and edit
ASCII files. This command is available only in DOS 5.0 and higher versions.
Syntax : EDIT <FileName>

6. RENAME : Rename a file.

Syntax : RENAME <FileName>
Example : C:\BCA>REN Letter.txt Chapter.txt
Name of the file changes from Letter.txt to a new name Chapter.txt.

7. MOVE : This is an external DOS command which moves directories and files to
another location on the same disk.
5
 Syntax : C:\MOVE [Source Directory][Target Directory]
Example : C:\MOVE C:\MyDir\*.* C:\NewDir
If you want to move Today.txt to the Date directory in drive C, to command is
Example : MOVE Today.txt C:\Date

If you want to rename the file at the same time while moving.
Example : MOVE Today.txt C:\Date Yesterday.txt

You can even rename the directory from Date to Year by typing
MOVE C:\Date C:Year

8. UNDELETE : It is an external command. To undelete all files in the diskette in drive

A, you can use UNDELETE A: command. This restores files deleted using the DEL
command.
Example : C:\UNDELETE NEWDIR
The /LIST switch gives a listing of all the files that DOS is to recover.
Example : C:\UNDELETE /LIST

9. ATTRIB : This command is used to change the attribute of a file. By using Attrib
command, one can make a file ‘read only’, ‘hide’, etc
Example : C:\>Attrib –r Test.doc
C:\>Attrib –h Text.doc
C:\>Attrib +a Test.doc
+ = Hidden - = Unhidden a = Archive
h = Hidden file r = Read Only d = Directories only
+s = Make file as DOS system file.

AIM – STUDY OF DOS DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT COMMANDS

1. DIR : The Dir command stands for ‘directory’. We can display a list of files stored in a diskette as hard
disk with DIR command. This command is used to list on the screen the name of files and other details
about the files such as, the file size, the date and time of creation.
Syntax : C:\>DIR
Examples : C:\DIR/P  One screen of information appears

DIR/W The directory list appears with the filename listed width wise on the screen.
DIR/W/P  If the directory contains more files that will fit on one screen, we can also combine /P and ?
W switch like this.
DIR D:  This command displays the list of files and directories from the drive D

2. PATH : Suppose we have BCA directory in drive C, if we want to get directory listing from the BCA
directory, we can use the command DIR C:\BCA. To get a directory listing from BOYS which is located
under BCA directory, we need to specify the complete path for it. The complete path for the BOYS
directory is
C:\BCA\BOYS
Thus this command displays the list of files from the BOYS directory. Here, C:\BCA\BOYS is
called the path for files stored in the directory.

3. MD/MKDIR : This command (MD or MKDIR) is the command used to create a new sub-directory
that is subordinate to the currently logged directory.
Syntax : MD <Directory Name>
Example : MD TEST
C:\>MKDIR teacher
C:\MD\BCA\BOYS

4. CD/CHDIR : This command is used to change from one directory to another.

Syntax : CD [drive:]PathName or CD <Name of directory>
The BOYS directory is a sub-directory of the BCA directory. A sub-
directory is a directory within another directory. Sub-directories are useful to sub-divide information.
C:\MALE\>CD\BCA\BOYS  Moves a different directory.
C:\BCA>BOYS>CD..  Moves one step back to programs.
C:\BCA>CD BOYS  Moves to sub-directory BOYS.

5. RD/RMDIR : Remove or delete directory

Syntax : RD [Drive:] Pathname
MS-DOS will refuse to remove a directory until it is empty, i.e, there can be no files or sub-
directories in the directory to be deleted.
C:\BCA>RD BOYS  Delete the BOYS sub-directory
C:\BCA>CD..  Moves to parent directory
C:\RD BCA  Removes parent directory
C:\RD\BSc\Zoology  Removes directory Zoology with full pathname

following commands

1) Display the list of files of drive C, D and E.

2) Display all files having the extension name .txt, .doc, .com from the root directory of drive C.
3) Display all files from the C:\WINDOWS directory page by page.
4) Create a directory BCA at the root level in drive C. Change the directory to MCA. Copy the
AUTOEXEC.BAT from the root directory of drive C to MCA.
5) Execute system informative commands like VOL, VER, DATE etc.
6) Make a directory FIRST and SECOND in drive C using one command line.
7) Make a sub-directory FIRST_SEM in each directory of FIRST and SECOND.
8) Display the drive contents of drive C in page wise and drive D in width wise.
9) Make a file myfile.txt and copy it to BCA folder.
10) Delete all the files containing .txt from drive D.
