To create a path or folder use the following general command line parameters: pc.exe /md <pathname>
Example:
pc /md c:\abc\def\ijk\hij
Note Powercopy's simpler md command when compared to ordinary DOS.
To accomplish the preceding in DOS requires the following lengthy string of command line directives:md c:\abc -- cd c:\abc -- md def -- cd def -- md ijk -- cd ijk -- md hij -- cd hij
To change to a different
folder use the following general command line parameters: pc.exe /cd <foldername>
(ideal for single-finger typists,
wildcards
are
allowed!)
Example:
pc /cd c:\win*\s*
Note: The /cd command does not currently work under NT/Win2000 with pc32.exe
The major difference compared to DOS is that wildcards may be used. If there are multiple choices you are prompted with these choices. E.g.; Assume you have multiple folders beginning with the letter 's' (sendto, shellnew, spool, system, startmenu...). Powercopy displays all folders containing the letter 's'. This is very useful if you don't know the exact name of the folder to select.
Example: An owner of a PC Repair-Shop has copied software to a server using the following format:
c:\Software\\Win95
\Win95SR2
\Win98
The owner creates a batch file (TankOS.bat) to transfer an O/S to the customer's PC.
The batch file contains the following lines of directives:pc /cd c:\Software\W* Line #1.(Line #1 batch file results) The Powercopy dialog appears displaying all matching folders.
pc /t * /d c:\Windows Line #2.![]()
The owner selects Win98 followed by a charage return (Enter) and Powercopy (Line #2 of the batch file) copies all files in c:\Software\Win98 to the customer's PC at c:\Windows\. .
