I do not think you can use DIR to list files with no name but with an
extension. You can write a small .COM to loop through write sys$output
"''f$sear(".*;*")'" to get the files.
What strange behaviour do you see with DEL HUGO.*;* I think it looks
fine;
$ create .x ! No filename, but an extension
Exit
$ create x. ! no extension but has a filename
Exit
$ dir .* ! Should only show .X (IMHO, but someone will tell me that MHO
is wrong), but shows both files
Directory [dir]
.X;1 0 13-JUL-2005 10:58:21.65
X.;1 0 13-JUL-2005 10:58:24.31
Total of 2 files, 0 blocks.
$ write sys$output "''f$sear(".*;*")'" ! finds the file you were
looking for
[dir].X;1
$ del x.*; ! What strange behaviour do you see here?
DELETE [dir]X.;1 ? [N]: y
