Re: [JAWS-Users] combining multiple text files
Hi You can get a list of available DOS commands by going to a command prompt (DOS) and typing help and pressing enter. This will put the list on your screen. You may have to use the JAWS cursor to read it. If you want to keep the list for future reference, you can enter help > c:\mydirectory\commandlist.txt. This will put the list in a text file. To get help on any of the commands, in a command prom type the command name followed by a space, then a slash, and then a question mark and press enter. For example copy /?.This will put help for that command on the screen. You can use the method above to save the command help in a text file. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Angelo DeMarsico Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 12:14 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combining multiple text files I was just wondering if there was a trove of commands to discover. -Original Message- From: David Ferrin Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 11:29 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combining multiple text files If you are referring to my post regarding command line arguments from the old DOS training manuals that I started learning from quite a long time ago.

Change your prompt to the location where your files are located for example the root directory of your data drive by typing this command "D:" and hitting enter. Then at that point typing "CD\" then hitting enter and typing at that point the following command: copy *.txt filename.txt That will place all of your files in alphabetic order in to a single text file. Remember to always hit enter after every command. My guess is you'll probably select the first method but I thought I would give you a couple of alternatives. David Ferrin Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones that mind don't matter.
