It is the analog of COMMAND.COM in MS-DOS and Windows 9x systems (where it is called "MS-DOS Prompt"), or of the Unix shells used on Unix-like systems.

cd at the command prompt.

C:\> cd

C:\

To change directories, use the cd command with the name of a directory.

C:\> cd temp

Now, the command prompt will be:

C:\temp>

2 Dir(s)

You can also use move to rename a file. Simply specify a new filename instead of a directory name.

Suppose you accidentally messed up the upper and lower case and had saved abc.txt as

abc.txt. Use two move commands to fix it.

C:\temp\good> dir

Volume in drive C has no label.

Volume Serial Number is C8C7-BDCD

Directory of C:\temp\good

It takes two moves because Windows won't let you move to an already existing filename and, to Windows, abc.txt is the same as Abc.txt.

Copy : To make a copy of a file, use the copy command. The following command creates a backup copy of our Abc.txt program. This is especially useful when you modify a working program, but might want to revert back to the original version if your modifications don't succeed.

C:\temp\good> copy Abc.txt HelloWorld.bak

C:\temp\good> dir

Volume in drive C has no label.

del: Subsequently, you might want to clean up useless files. The del command deletes a file.

C:\temp\good> del HelloWorld.bak

C:\temp\good> dir

Volume in drive C has no label.

Volume Serial Number is C8C7-BDCD

Directory of C:\introcs

02/10/2005 08:59 PM DIR .

WARNING: When you revise a file in jEdit, the jEdit program will automatically save a backup copy of your original file in the same directory. The name of the backup file will be the name of the original file with a ~ at the end. When you submit your program be careful to submit Abc.txt and not Abc.txt~ which is an old version of the file and has the wrong name.

wildcards: You can also apply the copy, del, and move commands to several files (or directories) at once. To create a new directory called loops, and copy all of the files in the hello directory

C:\temp\good\ into this newly created directory type:

C:\introcs> mkdir loops

C:\introcs> copy c:\temp\good\* loops

Here the * matches all files in the C:\temp\good directory. It copies them to your newly created loops directory.
