IDEA : complete command line app with all XP commands
« on: December 18, 2009, 01:58 PM »
Hi, there is a complete index of XP commands HERE and I was thinking it would be good to have a small application with all these commands in either list form, a drop-down menu or whatever and which would open any of the commands when clicking on the line in the app....if you see what I mean ?

You know you can just type "help" in an DOS-Box?

C:\>help
Geben Sie HELP 'Befehlsname' ein, um weitere Informationen zu einem bestimmten
Befehl anzugeigen.

ASSOC    Zeigt Dateierweiterungszuordnungen an bzw. ändert sie.
AT       Legt eine Zeit fest, zu der Befehle und Programme auf diesem Computer
         ausgeführt werden.
ATTRIB   Zeigt ....


Use "help |more" to stop the output after each page.


Use "help |findstr /B "P"" to see all commands starting with letter "P"
C:\>help |findstr /B "P"
PATH    Legt den Suchpfad für ausführbare Dateien fest oder zeigt diesen an.
PAUSE    Hält die Ausführung einer Batchdatei an und zeigt eine Meldung an.
POPD    Wechselt zu dem Verzeichnis, das durch PUSHD gespeichert wurde.
PRINT    Druckt eine Textdatei.
PROMPT  Ändert die Eingabeaufforderung.
PUSHD    Speichert das aktuelle Verzeichnis, und wechselt dann zu einem
Greetings, Stefan.

@ Abterix - yes I am aware of that but want something simpler and quicker.

@ JennyB - thanks, I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a try.

Have you tried auto-completion hitting Tab key?  May even be faster than using a drop-down box.
