DOS Syntax

Here's a new DOS command I wasn't aware of:

“for %a in (xls pdf) do dir *.%a “

will return dir's for xls and pdf files...etc. Pretty cool stuff.

Uhm... you just found out about that?

Ok, go read the windows help for dos commands... thers a whole bunch of cool things way down in command line land...

Sorry but having started with DOS 3.xx and Novell 2.xx I used to have to know how to make all kinds of bat files for stuff....

more signs of how long I have been doing this... :-(
