[comp.sys.amiga] LIST features and annoyance

rouaix@inria.UUCP (04/02/87)

You may have noticed that LIST has a special string pattern matching
feature that is sometimes useful:
LIST s string    -> gives you only the files which name has string as a
substring.
Now you all know that there is a directory s on your sys: disk
Let's try this:
1>cd sys:
1>list s
Bad Args

Little trick: type list s/ instead and it will work fine.

Another feature: +
It is described in AmigaDOS manual (1-11) (2-41)
It seems to have some side effects, and therefore you should avoid using
filenames terminating with +
