MOVE Moves one or more files. Also renames files and directories. Removes a directory. REN Renames a file or files. TIME Displays or sets the system time.
TREE Graphically displays the directory structure of a drive or path.
TYPE Displays the contents of a text file. If a program is equipped with this ability, the help files will be displayed. As an example, I will be using the DIR command, but keep in mind that the same concepts can be readily extended to commands such as COPY , DEL , REN and so on. The general idea is that wildcards are like jokers in a pack of cards - you use them as substitutes for one or more other cards, or in our case, letters in filenames. It stands for anything following it up to the dot or the end of the filename, whichever comes first.
