DOS Command Type
Type: Internal (1.0 and later)
SYNTAX
TYPE [d:][path]filename
Purpose: Displays the contents of a file.
Discussion
When you use the TYPE command, the file is displayed with limited
on-screen formatting. Tabs are expanded and generally displayed as
eight spaces wide. If you display files that contain special
(non-text) characters, these characters may have unpredictable
effects on your display.
Wild card characters (? and *) cannot be used with this command in
either the filename or the extension.
For more information on using the TIME command, refer to Chapter 2,
Using Common DOS Commands.
Example
To display the contents of the file LETTER3.TXT on drive B, enter
type b:letter3.txt
