Do you mean that you want to pipe the output of one command to another?  If so,
you just separate the commands with a | character ( which is shift-\ on most
keyboards).

type file.txt | more

That will take the output of the type command and pipe it into the more command.

If you just want to feed commands to the command line one at a time but type
just one thing, then you need to write a batch file, which is just a text file
that contains the commands that you want to run.  dosemu comes with a batch
file called autoexec.bat in the c:\ directory -- take a look at that for an
example of how to write one.

Hi Frank,

I have java program that I want to execute batch from it.
I want to set environment variable before I run the batch file.
For example the 2 commands I want to run are:
1. set val=5
2. a.bat

Sample how it was in Unix:
[ishai@mip-devtest ishai]$ export val=7;a.bat 
7
[ishai@mip-devtest ishai]$ cat a.bat 
echo $val
[ishai@mip-devtest ishai]$ 

Thanks
Idan

1) Make the first line of a.bat read "set val=5" (without the quotes)

or 

2) Make a second batch file that calls a.bat, as in this example:

set val=5
a

Save that as b.bat and run b.bat when you want to run the program.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your answer.

If I understand your suggestion is to create at runtine the batch file
as I don't know what the value if I will need to set for val.

Isn't a way in dos to run 2 commands or more in same line as in Unix for
example ?

Thanks
Idan

RE: dos command

[Manfred Scherer]

there is no way to run more than one command in the dos commandline,
except command piping. 

A possibility is to turn over the value as a commandline argument:

The first line in your a.bat should bee:

set val=%1

Call the batchfile a.bat with your value (i.e. 7) in one command line:

call a.bat 7


If you cannot modify your a.bat before, then you can generate a version of it:

echo set val=%%1 > b.bat
cat a.bat >> b.bat 
call b.bat 7

... sorry, not 'cat' but 'type' is right.

dos command

[Tony Gogoi]

sorry for asking this question here, but last option.

"dir /s /b" as pointed out to me earlier works fine.

However, it willl be more convenient for me to have filenames displayed
only as "MYDOCUME~1" instead of "MY DOCUMENTS" which has blanks. (So that
its easier to write scripts, string comparison as opposed to sentence
comparison etc).

How could I do this ?

The dir switch /X prints the short form which I want, but doesn't suppress
the long names as well. Any ideas ?

Thanks,


Tony Gogoi
