Hi gurus,

I have created 2 directories with the same files.txt in it.

Then I have typed >FC G G2

I receive a file not found error.
The files are there.

Thanks for your attention.

Well, assuming that "G" and "G2" are your directories and you typed

FC G G2

at the prompt

then FC will give you the misleading error "FC: cannot open G - No such file
or folder" (where G is a directory.)

If you ask for FC's syntax with

FC /?

from the prompt, then you'll find that FC REQUIRES two filenames or
filemasks.

Perhaps you meant

FC G\* G2\*
OR
FC .\G\* .\G2\*

which specifies which Files to Compare
