DOScoms.au3 [later "noDOS.au3" to mimic these]

Needs Beta AutoIt3; put in include" directory//1.27 Added Concatenate, synchDOS, ArrayView2D

Beta version here

DOScoms.au3 ; version 1_05 ;3rdNov 05 proposed project "any offers to do or modify a func accepted!"

Let me know if it's all been done .....somewhere.....

Has this been done //// ? is it worth doing?

Philosophy is to :

1. Avoid (or only make as options), using large strings or arrays, due to bloating of memory and slowing of speed;

2. Mainly use FileWriteLine, then read files at end.

3. Avoid quotes and switches (optionally) and make more readable than DOS for occasional users.

===================PROPOSED===============================================

===================PROPOSED derivatives===============================================

_ReplaceLineDOS($s_file, $s_new_file,$LineNum, $NewLine) [ie without using memory for file....[[from "_FindLinesDOS"]

_FindLineNumsDOS( $s_file, $s_AnswerFile,$s_Searches,$i_Case,$i_Array,$i_Literal) [from "_FindLinesDOS"]

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

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

There is a lot of interest in DOS commands at times

[speed, multiple switch options, familiarity, open large files which cant be opened by fileOpen etc],

so I thought I'd try to put them in UDFs, so we don't have to use switches or quotes in "Run@comspec " or "RunWait@comspec " or "_RunDos" etc.; [ie it will be all hidden inside the UDFs]

Let me know if it's all been done ..... [Title should exclude "quotes", not "commas"]

[2nd project will be to convert these UDFs to COM commands which can match DOS speed without using @comspec at all (won't have so many switches available, at least initially)] .... any help with ideas , and better script or parameters will be open to anyone to build, with great welcome! (I have some ideas, but not great with programs...)
