Hi,

i'ml looking for guy command line interpreter for windows.

btw what is the fastest way to switch form

C:\WINDOWS\Bureau>

to

some folder that was not memorised for drive D ?

because if i type "d:" i will go to the last folder i was on
the D drive, but not exactly to d: root !

to go to d: root, i shall type "cd d:" ANd then, d:

=======================

C:\WINDOWS\Bureau>cd d:
D:\

C:\WINDOWS\Bureau>d:

D:\>

========================

that's too annoying :)

Wherever Change Directory, available for a number of platforms.

If you have a directory F:\root\sub1\sub2\data, the command
wcd f:data will jump to it (no need to specify the path)

If you have a number of directories called DATA, WCD will list them and
let you choose.

There are several versions for Microsoft operating systems: 16-bit DOS;
32-bit, with LFN support in Win; WinNT with LAN UNC support, but I find
that the Win32 doesn't work properly. The one I have listed as WinNT
with LAN UNC support is, as far as I remember, the best one to use in a
Windows environment (I use XP).

HTH,
 
I use a nice, fast program called Another Change Directory" after you
scan your hard disk(s) just type in the first couple of letters. You
can also wildcard it as well -- eg *pictures* will get you My Pictures,
Pictures I Took, My Favorite Pictures July 2005. And, it's LFN.

For command line stuff I also use TODDY

Like the old DOSKey but way better. From above site: "Toddy is a DOS
command line editor that adds macros, key reassignments, single key
file name completion, and non-destructive cursor movement to the
standard DOS command line. Highly configurable. Default configuration
uses less than 7K of memory."

A combo of ACD & TODDY (as well as the old 4DOS) helps make the DOS
command line work a bit easier: Changing directories quickly, re-using
commands without having to re-type, etc.

I can't recall the name of another program similar to ACD that lets you
go to a directory, then a RETURN to the directory where you were.

Pretty nice stuff, omg (years without knowing that :) !
at the begining acd locked in runtime errors, but after a
acd /qrecreate, it was ok.

btw wcd seems fine too...

If you go to the ACD site, admittedly, hasn't been updated in a long,
long time, you can email author to get "latest beta." Haven't done
that, since the ACD available for d/l does all I need.
