all the files in the current directory that have the same name but different extensions. For example, if the current directory contains the files
file1.txt,
file2.txt, and
file3.exe, then the command
Dir file* will display the following output:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.exe
The asterisk (*) is a wildcard character that matches any number of characters. In this case, it matches any character after the file prefix. So, the command Dir filename.* will display all the files in the current directory that have the name file followed by any number of characters and any extension.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Option B,
Dir filename.ext, will only display the files in the current directory that have the name filename and the extension ext.
- Option C,
Dir *.sys, will only display the files in the current directory that have the extension sys.
- Option D,
Dir *.ext, will display all the files in the current directory that have any extension.
