File Selection

Most internal commands (like COPY, DIR, etc.) work on a file or a group of 
files.  Besides typing the exact name of the file you want to work with, 
you can use several shorthand forms for naming or selecting files and the 
applications associated with them. 

Most of the features explained in this section apply to CMD.EXE commands 
only, and can not be used to pass file names to external programs unless 
those programs were specifically written to support these features. 

The file selection features are: 

            Extended Parent Directory Names 
            Wildcards 
            Date, Time, and Size Ranges 
            File Exclusion Ranges 
            Multiple Filenames 
            Include Lists 
            Executable Extensions
