SELECT - does it support ranges?

[Stephen Howe]

Hi

Using TCC 11.00.44

Does SELECT support ranges?
The help file claims it does.
But when I try it out - it does not.

I frequently use

dir /Od /[d]

just to see today files in order in a directory.
So I was surprised to find that

SELECT /Od /[d] MOVE (*.TXT) backup

did not work. SELECT did not like /[d].

Thanks

Look at the help a little more closely, and you'll see that ranges must
*immediately* follow SELECT. In your example you've inserted a non-range
argument between SELECT and the range.
