Syntax
FPRINT <Device>:<Filename>
Parameters
<Device> is the name for used device. It can only be a disk drive.
If you don't specify the drive, the computer will use the currently active drive (by default, it's drive A:)
| Device type | Device name | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Disk drive | A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H | A floppy disk interface can control until 2 drives. |
<Filename> is the file name you are searching for. Wildcards can replace some characters in file name to handle several files and/or folders. The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) are used as wildcard characters. The asterisk matches any sequence of characters, whereas the question mark matches any single character.
Usage
This tool will ask you the number of columns (between 1 and 12) you want to use for the printing, then will execute your command.
