very cool muttley nice job bill

i really needed a console udf some time ago but i was to lazy to make it my self

[billthecreator]

Thanks!!!

It'd be nicer if the writer was a little bigger, and able to use the command

'cd' in the actual CMD. As in, Change Directory, to change to that directory, and if it's windows, change to windows directory, etc! Thanks mucho!

It'd be cool to make a compiled version. So you don't have to download the extras muttley

Edit: Nevermind, CTRL + + increases size

Wow, i did it. You can now use the CD and DIR commands. it was hard work, but i got it. Thanks all for all your downloads.

[DexterMorgan]

This is crazy muttley Really good job I love it !

I like it, but could you add the ability to run programs in directories specified in the PATH? The way it is right now, it must be in the current directory.

Some good features but also a lot of problems.

I had to comment out these lines to stop errors

;$aOSInfo[$i][12] = $objItem.DataExecutionPrevention_32BitApplications
;$aOSInfo[$i][13] = $objItem.DataExecutionPrevention_Available
;$aOSInfo[$i][14] = $objItem.DataExecutionPrevention_Drivers
;$aOSInfo[$i][15] = $objItem.DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy

The drive is assumed to be C: even though it imight not be and it would be easy to find the current drive.

The line

$hC = FileGetTime("C:")

does not return an array so the next line fails, (and so DIR doesn't work).

No command I typed would run any programs even though they were in the folder given by the prompt.

CD\ doesn't work for me.

Typing C: doesn't work, but typing cd.. untill you get to the route folder suddenly switches to C: even though before that it was D:\somefolder, and then I can't get back to D:

If I used run to get the run prompt I couldn't see how to get back to the initial command prompt.

Not an "enhanced user experience" I'm afraid. muttley

$size is on line 49, for all those people with resolutions above 1024x768 muttley

Otherwise a great mirror of cmd.

I can't figure out "cd"... I tried:

C:\
C:
C:\Windows
Windows
C:\Windows\
Windows\

Can I only pick a directory within the current directory?

Lastly, it'd be nice if pressing UP brought up the previous entry.

I cannot get the cd to work either!

[billthecreator]

yes, so far its a directory within the directory. and ive tried to do the up down thing. but ill work on them. this isnt an easy script... maybe you can help me help you, you know?

[billthecreator]

to change font, press ctrl+f and sometimes the font window is hidden. but you can change the font size and name

[billthecreator]

its there. its CLEAR

[sensalim]

When I type "dir" I get error: Subscript used with non-Array variable

[sensalim]

its there. its CLEAR

Why not cls? It's cls not clear... in ms-dos anyway.

[billthecreator]

that only happens when i try to view hidden folders. i have no idea how to fix that. sorry, try it with another directory... maybe it'll work

[billthecreator]

Why not cls? It's cls not clear... in ms-dos anyway.

cause thats what i have it as. if you want to change it, go to line: 105 and 1054

[WeMartiansAreFriendly]

Well congrats.

This is awesome, I hope you don't limit this to command prompt functions, this has a whole world of new features.

[billthecreator]

thanks, im having the hardest time trying to figure out how to call the up down func to recall used commands

[Xand3r]

Here's something from an older program of mine i used it to calculate paths like

c:\windows\..\Documents and Settings\..\Program Files\

or if the path is relative .... cd ..\whateva\whateva2

If _isfolder($string[2]) Or _isfolder($udir[$z]&"\"&$string[2]) Then 
                                            If StringRegExp($string[2],"(?i)[a-z]:") Then;if path is absolute
                                                Local $fp = FileGetLongName($string[2],1)
                                            Else;path is relative
                                                Local $fp = FileGetLongName($udir[$z]&"\"&$string[2])
                                            EndIf
                                            $fp=StringRegExpReplace($fp,'(?i)\\([^\\])+\\\.\.',"");replace \..\
                                            _rdWrite($rd,"changed dir to: "&$fp,1)
                                            $udir[$z]=FileGetLongName($fp)
                                        Else
                                            _rdWrite($rd,"Folder does not exist or it's not a folder!",1)
                                        EndIf

Func _isfolder($file)
    $attrib=FileGetAttrib($file)
    If StringInStr($attrib,"D") Then Return 1
    Return 0
EndFunc

some explanations ... $udir[$z] was the active directory of the current user cause the app is multi user and $string[2] was the path to cd to ([0]=2,[1]=cd,[2]=path )

here's the full script if you want to have a better look through it muttley oh and btw i wanted to do that history thing too but i wanted to make it serversite and i was to lazy to finish it

#513504

my approach for the command history was .. write commands to a file and remember the line of the file u are at ... when u push uparrow or downarrow serve the line of the file that is -1 or +1 row in the file
