Sinclair Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 15:08 To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Which is the correct DIR command from within an EEP? Hi all, >From the R>, all of these work the same... dir c:\documents dir c:\documents\ dir c:\documents\*.* But, from within an EEP, I found at least one instance that capturing the output of a DIR command would not work if I used the *.*., for example... erase dir.txt output dir.txt dir c:\documents\*.* output screen did not work. Replacing the dir c:\documents\*.* with c:\documents seemed to work. Which is the preferred method? Should it matter? Mike
