To refer to the C drive, you would type:
c:
The identifier letter may be entered in upper or lower case.
C o m p l e t e F i l e I d e n t i f i c a t i o n
The full identity of each computer file includes
♦
the name of the drive on which the file is stored.
♦
the path of subdirectories to the location of the file in the tree-
structure system.
♦
the file name, including extension, if any.
In the standard notation of this manual, the full file specification may
be indicated as follows:
d:\path\filename.ext
Note that just as the names of subdirectories are separated by a
backslash (\) in the path specification, a backslash is also used
between the drive name and path and between the path and the file
name.
To simplify notation, the full file specification may simply be called
filespec
U s i n g W i l d c a r d C h a r a c t e r s
Wildcard characters can be used to reference groups of files without
typing the complete file name for each file. A wildcard is a substitute
for all or part of a file name or extension. Performing a task for a large
group of files can be simplified by the use of wildcards.
The two wildcard characters are the asterisk (*) and the question
mark(?). The asterisk represents an entire name or a group of
characters found within a name. The question mark represents a
single character.
