Select/Unselect/Invert group Gray +, -, *
These three commands allows you to select, unselect and
invert a group of files. A dialog box appears into which you
can type a DOS wildcard characters to specify which files to
select, unselect or invert. For example, "*.doc" selects all
the files with the .doc extension.
DOS Wildcard Characters
-----------------------
DOS file names have two parts: the name (which can be up to
8 characters) and the extension (which can be up to 3
characters) with a period in between. For example,
"filename.ext".
* Match any characters for the rest of the name or
extension. "a*" will match "a", "ab", and "abc", as
well as many others. '*' applies just to one part of
the file name, so "a*" will not match "ab.c". Use
"a*.*" to find all files that start with 'a' and have
any extension. (Note: "*a" will match any name, and
not just names with an `a' at the end as you might
expect.)
? Match one character. So "a?" will match "a", "ab",
"ac", etc. "????" will match any name with up to four
characters.
Notes:
. You can use Select group in conjunction with Unselect
group, Invert group and Ins (to select/unselect a
single file) to mark any group of files.
. Select group command acts on files and directories,
but Unselect group and Invert grour commands act on
files only.
