Command Prompt Tips and Tricks
doskey.exe can be used to create macros for your custom command prompt. Just create a shortcut like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k doskey /macrofile="C:\tools\DosKeyMacroFile.txt"
DosKeyMacroFile.txt looks like this:
[cmd.exe]
n=notepad.exe $*
s=pushd C:\scratch
re=regedit.exe
reboot=shutdown.exe -r -f -c "rebooting"
dk=doskey /macros:all
em=notepad "C:\tools\DosKeyMacroFile.txt"
tools=pushd "C:\tools"
As you can see by the first line, you can use $* to specify that this command should receive it's parameters from the command line. For example, if I want to edit test.cmd I just run "n test.cmd" from my command prompt.
