Question - What is the basic difference between BASH and DOS?
Answer -
The key differences between the BASH and DOS console lie in 3 areas:
- BASH commands are case sensitive while DOS commands are not;
- Under BASH, / character is a directory separator and \ acts as an escape character. Under DOS, / serves as a command argument delimiter and \ is the directory separator
- DOS follows a convention in naming files, which is 8 character file name followed by a dot and 3 characters for the extension. BASH follows no such convention.
