pushd & popd

i don't really understand pushd syntax and popd syntax.

can somebody explain to me ?

for pushd, if i have a code like this "pushd c:\users\sohai_cibai_user\desktop\program", it will bring me to that specified directory.

am i correct for that ?

but i don't know to operate with popd at all.

haha, thanks in advanced.

Re: pushd & popd

The documentation over at ss64.net shows the usage options for each command and also gives some examples.
http://ss64.com/nt/pushd.html
http://ss64.com/nt/popd.html

c:\Program Files> PUSHD c:\utils
c:\utils> PUSHD c:\Windows
c:\Winnt> 
c:\Winnt> POPD
c:\utils> 
c:\utils> POPD
c:\Program Files>

PushD and PopD operate upon the stack principle "LIFO".  You can read about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(abstract_data_type)

Re: pushd & popd

I just noticed that example on the POPD page is slightly wrong, so I've amended it now

c:\Program Files> PUSHD c:\utils
c:\utils> PUSHD c:\Windows
c:\Windows>
c:\Windows> POPD
c:\utils> 
c:\utils> POPD
c:\Program Files>
