What Is It?
The Shell Scripting Toolkit is a set of freeware utilities that enhance
traditional Cmd.exe shell scripting. Two of the programs in the set are
also useful in Command.com. The utilities are as follows:
CCase: Convert standard input to upper or lowercase
ColorX: Echo the current screen colors and set screen colors
DatexX: Echo the current date, a specified date, or an offset in a
variety of formats
DriveX: Returns the drive type for the current or a specified drive as
an exit code, or echoes drives of a specified type
EchoX: Echo text in color, without a trailing newline; supports several
escape characters and formatting width and alignment
FInfo: Echo information about or more files to standard output
IfX: Case-insensitive string or numeric comparison of two arguments (not
needed in Cmd.exe)
LineX: Counts the number of lines in standard input; prints a specified
line, a range of lines, or lines from the beginning or end of standard
input; can also echo standard input in reverse order
S2V: Real-mode MS-DOS executable that reads the first line of standard
input (up to 255 characters) and saves it in an environment variable
(does not work, and is not needed, in Cmd.exe)
ShellEsc: Inserts a shell escape character (^) before each reserved
shell character in standard input
SleepX: Pauses for a specified period of time; can display a prompt and
can also be interrupted by a keystroke
Str: Counts characters in a string, echoes a string in upper or
lowercase, and searches for one string in another
Tee: Echoes each line of standard input to standard output and a file
simultaneously
TempName: Generates a temporary unique file or directory name
What's New/Changed?
Added Str utility. See History.txt for details.
