| CHDIR Statement Details |
|
| Syntax |
| CHDIR pathspec |
| |
| The pathspec is a string expression identifying the directory |
| that is to become the default directory. The pathspec must |
| have fewer than 64 characters. It has the following syntax: |
| |
| [drive:][\\]directory[\\directory]... |
| |
| The argument drive: is an optional drive specification. If you omit |
| drive, CHDIR changes the default directory on the current drive. |
| |
| CHDIR differs from the CHDIR command in DOS in two ways: |
| |
| 1. The BASIC statement cannot be shortened to CD. |
| |
| 2. There is no form of the CHDIR statement that returns |
| the current directory. |
| |
| Note: The CHDIR statement changes the default directory but not the |
| default drive. For example, if the default drive is C, then |
| the following CHDIR statement changes the default directory |
| on drive D, but the default drive is still C: |
| |
| CHDIR "D:\\TMP" |
