4.1.3. Subdirectories
For a greater degree of organisational structure it is possible to create
subdirectories, or even subdirectories of subdirectories. There is no limit to the
number which can be created, but too much structure may make it difficult for
the user to keep track of where files are stored.
To set the currently logged directory. use the CHDIR or CD command followed
by the name of the directory.
The DOS prompt indicates the current directory. If a subdirectory of IMAGES
called TIFF, which is in turn a subdirectory of drive C is the current directory,
the DOS prompt will look like:-
C:\IMAGES\TIFF>
Notice the backs lash (\) before the directory names. When moving from one
directory to another unrelated directory, type the name of the directory preceded
by a backslash. The parent of any subdirectory is the directory immediately
above it. In the example above, the parent of nFF is IMAGES- nFF is the
subdirectory, IMAGES is the directory.
A backs lash inserted directly after the drive characters refers to the top-level or
root directory. The root directory does not have a parent directory.
. To switch to the root directory, simply enter CHDIR \
followed by Return. To enter the IMAGES directory, type
CHDIR \ IMAGES, to enter the nFF subdirectory, type CHDIR
\IMAGES\TIFF and so on.
. DOS always works relative to the currently logged directory. In
IMAGES, to go to nFF, simply enter CHDIR TIFF. To go
straight to the root directory type CHDIR \ or CHDIR C: \
. Fmally, to move from a subdirectory to its parent directory, for
example to move from nFF to IMAGES, specify '..' as the
directory in the CHDIR command
