Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Working with Files Basic File Commands FILES - Finding files
- | The `FILES` Command: The `FILES` command is used to find files in the AUX list. The output can be filtered by the root name, extension or AUX name. The `/H` switch can be used to show some of the key attributes of each file listed, such as: Type, Format, number of elements and number of data bytes. For example:
      nM> files/h aux=dat
      Auxiliary [DAT] = /home/burdell/nxm230/nxm/sys/dat/   (24 files)
       Type  Form   Elements   Data Bytes  Filename
