Need a help in cmd prompt?

Question

Hello.........

I want some help regarding cmd commands. I want to know how/wheather i can run my programs using commands in command prompt.

ie. if I type some applications name in the cmd prompt then it must open. like notepad ,mspaint

Answer 1

For Notepad

Go to Command Prompt

Type cd\

You will return to C:

Type cd Windows

You will see:

C:\Windows

Type Notepad

Note pad will open

For MSpaint:

Afre coming to C: Windows, type cd system32

You will see:

C:\Windows\system32

Type Mspaint

Mspaint will open

This is valid for the normal directories in which MSpaint or notepad are kept.  If your packeges are kept in other directories, you will have to go to these directories.

Answer 2

dir                       List the contents of the current DIRectory

cd x*x                CHANGE DIRECTORY to the sub-directory x*x

cd /                    CHANGE DIRECTORY to the root directory

cd ..                   CHANGE DIRECTORY up one directory level

x:                       Change drive to drive x (usually c, d, etc..)

copy x*x yyy      COPY the file x*x into a new file called yyy

copy x*x zzz\     COPY the file x*x into the sub-directory zzz

copy x*x .           COPY the file x*x into the current working directory

ren x*x yyy         REName the file named x*x to a file named yyy

move x*x yyy\     MOVE the file x*x into the sub-directory yyy

move x*x .          MOVE the file x*x into the current directory

del x*x               REMOVE (delete) the file x*x

md x*x               MAKE DIRECTORY x*x under the current directory

type x*x             CATALOGUE (display to screen) contents of file x*x

edit                    Open a simple text editor

edit x*x              Open file x*x in the editor

So if type in the actual file (nothing else) including the file extension it should open with the default editor, usually notepad. This will open the source code, not run the application

If you want to actually run a program in cmd, you must compile it first. This is done by typing... (file_name being you file)

* being extension......

"gpp file_name.*"  

and then type...

"a.exe"  ...

which will run the last compiled program, which will be the one you just compiled

I hope I could have been of assistance

Answer 3

Sure you can, if you want. It's easier to open them from the Run dialog, but whatever.

You'll need to make sure the program you want is located within a directory listed in the PATH environment variable, otherwise you would first have to CD to the program's directory, or type in the full path when running. For all executable files (.exe, .com, .bat, .cmd) you DON'T need to type the file extension, unless for reasons of ambiguity.

Answer 4

Yes, you can run most of your programs. Go to the disk containing them (eg: d: or c:) Now type "cd <name of directory\sub directory > etc. Now type the name of the application followed by ".exe". (eg notepad.exe). Some windows applications open directly . their location is in the default "path".
