DOS COMMANDS

Syntax Notes
To be functional, each DOS command must be entered in a particular way: this command entry
structure is known as the command's "syntax." The syntax "notation" is a way to reproduce the command
syntax in print.
For example, you can determine the items that are optional, by looking for information that is printed
inside square brackets. The notation [d:], for example, indicates an optional drive designation. The
command syntax, on the other hand, is how YOU enter the command to make it work.

Command Syntax Elements

1. Command Name
The DOS command name is the name you enter to start the DOS program (a few of the DOS
commands can be entered using shortcut names). The DOS command name is always entered first. In
this book, the command is usually printed in uppercase letters, but you can enter command names as
either lowercase or uppercase or a mix of both.
2. Space
Always leave a space after the command name.
3. Drive Designation
The drive designation (abbreviated here as "d:") is an option for many DOS commands.
However, some commands are not related to disk drives and therefore do not require a drive
designation. Whenever you enter a DOS command that deals with disk drives and you are
already working in the drive in question, you do not have to enter the drive designator. For
example, if you are working in drive A (when the DOS prompt A> is showing at the left side of
the screen) and you want to use the DIR command to display a directory listing of that same
drive, you do not have to enter the drive designation. If you do not enter a drive designation,
DOS always assumes you are referring to the drive you are currently working in (sometimes
called the "default" drive).
4. A Colon
When referring to a drive in a DOS command, you must always follow the drive designator with a
colon (:) (this is how DOS recognizes it as a drive designation).
5. Pathname
A pathname (path) refers to the path you want DOS to follow in order to act on the DOS
command. As described in Chapter 3, it indicates the path from the current directory or
subdirectory to the files that are to be acted upon.
6. Filename
A filename is the name of a file stored on disk. As described in Chapter 1, a filename can be of
eight or fewer letters or other legal characters.

7. Filename Extension
A filename extension can follow the filename to further identify it. The extension follows a period
and can be of three or fewer characters. A filename extension is not required.
8. Switches
Characters shown in a command syntax that are represented by a letter or number and preceded
by a forward slash (for example, "/P") are command options (sometimes known as "switches").
Use of these options activate special operations as part of a DOS command's functions.
9. Brackets
Items enclosed in square brackets are optional; in other words, the command will work in its
basic form without entering the information contained inside the brackets.

7
10. Ellipses
Ellipses (...) indicate that an item in a command syntax can be repeated as many times as
needed.
11. Vertical Bar
When items are separated by a vertical bar (|), it means that you enter one of the separated items.
For example: ON | OFF means that you can enter either ON or OFF, but not both.

DOS Commands are divided into 2 types:

1. Internal Commands
These are for performing basic operations on files and directories and they do not need any external
file support.
2. External Commands
These external commands are for performing advanced tasks and they do need some external
file support as they are not stored in COMMAND.COM

In MS-DOS, keyboard shortcuts involving handy ones like Functional keys, arrows, pipe character (” | “),
asterisk (*), ?, [] and ESC are of great help for recalling to searching to clearing command line etc., Here
are few of them:
 UP (Z) and DOWN (Ļ) arrows recall previously entered commands.
 ESC clears the present command line. It abandons the currently construct command and the

next prompt appears.

 F1 retypes one character at a time from the last command entry from the current cursor position.
 F2 retypes all characters from the last command entry up to the one identical to your next keystroke.
It asks you to enter char to copy up to and retypes the last command up to that char.
 F3 retypes all remaining characters from the last command entry.
 F4 stores all characters beginning at the first match with your next keystroke and ending with the
last command entry.
 F5 or F8 keys give all the previously typed commands.
 F6 places a special end-of-file code at the end of the currently open file. Sometimes referred to
as Ctrl+z or ^z.
 F7 key displays command history and ALT+F7/ESC hides it.
 F9 is used to select a command by number. Just enter the command number and it fetches the
command line for you.
 Pipe character (” | “) combines several series of commands or programs inter-dependent.
 Name enclosed within [] indicate a sub-directory.
 Asterisk (*) is used to represent zero or more any characters.
 ? is used to present zero or single character.

8
 MS-DOS commands perform tasks like:

 Manage files and directories

 Maintain Disks
 Configure Hardware and Networking
 Optimize the use of memory
 Customize MS-DOS

Commonly used Internal DOS Commands

1. Date

This command is used to display the system current date setting and prompt you to enter a new date.
The syntax is: DATE [/T | date]
If you type DATE without parameters then it displays current date and prompts to enter new date. We
should give new date in mm-dd-yy format. If you want to keep the same date just Press ENTER. DATE
command with /T switch tells the command to just output the current system date, without
prompting for a new date.

2. TIME

This command is used to displays or set the system time.

The syntax is: TIME [/T | time]

Same as DATE command, typing TIME with no parameters displays the current time and a prompt for
a new one. Press ENTER to keep the same time. TIME command used with /T switch tells the
command to just output the current system time, without prompting for a new time.
3. COPY CON

It is used to create a file in the existing directory. Here CON is a DOS reserved word which stands for
console.
Syntax is: COPY CON filename after that press Enter and start typing your text and after you’re done
typing your text, to save and exit hit F6 key.

9
4. TYPE

This command is used to display the contents of a text file or files. The syntax is:TYPE
[drive:][path]filename

Now, lets try to display the contents of the file na

5. CLS

It is used to clear the screen. Syntax is CLS

6. REN
This command is used to change/modify the name of a file or files.
Syntax is: REN [drive:] [path] filename1 filename2.

Here, filename1 is source file for which you wanted to change the name, and filename2 will obviously
becomes your new file name. Also note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your destination
file.
7. DIR

This command displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory. Syntax is:DIR
[drive:] [path] [filename] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L]

[/N] [/O[[:]sortorder]] [/P] [/Q] [/S] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/W] [/X] [/4]

10
Here,

[drive:][path][filename] Specifies drive, directory, and/or files to list.

/A:attributes Displays files with specified attributes. The possible

attributes are as follow: D Í Directories, R Í Read-
only files, H Í Hidden files, A Í Files ready for
archiving, S Í System files, – Prefix meaning not

display in bare format with no heading information or

/B summary
Using this attribute with dir by default displays the
thousandseparator in file sizes. To disable display
/C or separator use /-C
/D Displays file list sorted by column.
/L Uses lowercase in listing file names and sub-directories.
Display in new long list format where filenames are on the
/N far right.

Displays list by files in sorted order. The sortorder attributes are as

follow: N Í By name (alphabetic), S Í By size (smallest first), E Í By
/O:sortorder extension (alphabetic), D Í By date/time (oldest first),G Í Group
directories first, – Prefix to reverse order

/P /P Display page wise pausing after each screenful of

information and prompts to press any key to continue.

/Q Displays the owner of a file or files.

Displays files in specified directory and all
subdirectories. Bear caution in using this in
your root directory as you may end up in
overflowing information. To stop the screen
/S overflow at any point hit Pause-Break key.

11
8. PATH

This command displays the path that how we have come to the present position or sets a search path
for executable files.
Its Syntax is PATH [[drive:]path[;…][;%PATH%]]

Typing PATH without any parameters displays the current path under current directory. Typing PATH
; clears all search-path settings and direct cmd.exe to search only in the current directory. And
including %PATH% in the new path setting causes the old path to be appended to the new setting.
9. VER

This command displays the version of the Microsoft Windows running on your computer.

10. VOL

It displays the disk volume label and serial number, if they exist for the drive specified. If no drive is
specified it displays for the active drive.
Syntax is VOL [drive:]

11. DEL/ERASE

Used to delete one or more files.

Syntax is DEL [/P] [/F] [/S] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributes]] names

12. COPY

This command is useful in copying one or more files to another file or location. Syntax is COPY [/D]
[/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B] [+ source [/A | /B] [+ …]] [destination
[/A | /B]]

The different switches that can be used with this command as follow along with their use.

13. MD, CD and RD

a. MD (or MKDIR) command stand for make directory and it is used to create a directory.
Syntax is MD [drive:]path
b. CD (or CHDIR) stands for create or change directory and it allows to display the name of
or change the current directory or rather we can say come out of a directory. Syntax is
CD [/D] [drive:][path]
Í Typing CD drive: displays the current directory in the specified drive. This CD (or CHDIR)

14
 command does not treat spaces as delimiters due to which it allows to CD into a subdirectory
name that contains a space without surrounding the name with quotes.
For example:
CHDIR program filesmozilla firefox is
the same as:
CHDIR “program filesmozilla firefox”
Í If you type CD without any parameters it displays current drive and directory. CD.. specifies that
you want to change to the higher directory in the current path. Whereas, using CD you can directly
change to parent/root directory from any location in the current drive.
ÍUsing /D switch changes current drive in addition to current directory for a drive.

c. RD (or RMDIR) command removes or deletes a directory. There are two conditions to remove any
directory – (1) Directory to be removed should be empty. and (2) We should be outside the
directory we are commanding to delete.
Syntax is RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

Here, using the switch /S removes a directory tree meaning it removes all directories and files in the
specified directory in addition to the directory itself. And using /Q is the quiet mode that doesn’t
asks for ok approval to remove a directory tree.
