nope... wild cards are a no-no

was a long time ago ( don't use DOS much )

dosdir c:/clips/exe | awk ' /exe/ { print " doscp
c:/clips/exe/",$1,".",$2," ." } ' | sh

I think this will work if it doesn't change | sh to foo ; sh foo

that should do it, if you find you do this a lot type the command
into a file and just change the file information as needed
 hope this helps!
