CFN3 File System
Page 152 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004
The following characters are allowed in NT or MS-DOS filenames:
A-Z 0-9 ! @ # $ % ( ) ‘ ‘ - ~ { }
The following characters are not allowed in NT or MS-DOS filenames:
* = + [ ] ; : “ | \ / , < >?
The CFN3 application does allow some of these characters, but you should
avoid using them to maintain NT or MS-DOS compatibility.
Filename Extensions
For executable files, the CFN3 application uses a different extension than NT or
MS-DOS does, to avoid confusion between the two systems. Command files
(also called batch files) for the CFN3 application use the extension .CMD
(similar to NT). Executable files use the extension .BIN.
Wildcards in Filenames
You can use wildcard characters to match a group of filenames. A ? (question
mark) matches any single character. For example, ??.TXT matches all filenames
with two letters and the extension TXT.
An * (asterisk) matches one or more characters up to the end of the filename, or
up to the extension if there is one. For example, *.* matches every filename and
extension, *.DTA matches every filename with the extension DTA and
PR*.CMD matches every filename that begins with PR and has the extension
CMD.
The File System
The CFN3 application uses a hierarchical file system similar to the file system
used by NT ver 4 and greater or MS-DOS version 2.0 and later versions, such as
3.3 and 6.0. This type of file system is often described as being like a tree, with
a root and branches. The file system is made up of directories, and each
directory can contain files and further directories-thus the tree-branching
analogy. (The structure is really more like a bush, since it has no trunk.)
