FILESPEC FORMAT
|
||||
|
||||
CP/M 3 identifies every file by its unique file specification,
|
||||
which can consist of four parts: the drive specification, the
|
||||
filename, the filetype and the password. The term "filespec"
|
||||
indicates any valid combination of the four parts of a file
|
||||
specification, all separated by their appropriate delimiters.
|
||||
A colon must follow a drive letter. A period must precede a
|
||||
filetype. A semicolon must precede a password.
|
||||
|
||||
The symbols and rules for the parts of a file
|
||||
specification follow:
|
||||
|
||||
d: drivespec optional single alpha character (A-P)
|
||||
filename filename 1-8 letters and/or numbers
|
||||
typ filetype optional 0-3 letters and/or numbers
|
||||
password password optional 0-8 letters and/or numbers
|
||||
|
||||
Valid combinations of the elements of a CP/M 3 file specification
|
||||
are:
|
||||
|
||||
filename
|
||||
d:filename
|
||||
filename.typ
|
||||
d:filename.typ
|
||||
filename;password
|
||||
d:filename;password
|
||||
filename.typ;password
|
||||
d:filename.typ;password
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not include a drive specifier, CP/M 3 automatically
|
||||
uses the default drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Some CP/M 3 commands accept wildcard (* and ?) characters in the
|
||||
filename and/or filetype parts of the command tail. A wildcard
|
||||
in the command line can in one command reference many matching
|
||||
files on the default or specified user number and drive. (See
|
||||
Commands).
