Minor problem. Incorrect value internal var _dir_files

[djspits]

When using option /Nm:1, DIR returns the correct output but the internal variable _dir_files is zero.

The same variable has the correct value if this option is not used.

I added a screen shot with an example.

Cheers, DJ

Hmmm! With /Nm:1, I'd expect you'd only see one directory (namely ".") and no files. That's how it works here, and that makes me wonder how it might be used.

If you're talking about _dir_dirs, I see what you mean. _dir_dirs is 0 when /n:m is used.

Not reproducible here. Do you have an alias for DIR?

V: is a SUBST'd drive. It works better on a real one.

v:\> *dir /nm:5 i*

Not reproducible here.

Hmmm! Compare these two, one of which worked, one of which didn't. Notice that the tolals line is missing from the second one.

When I ask for fewer than exist, it fails. No SUBST involved here.
