Windows 9X command prompt

hey
this may not fit in this forum, but i couldn't find one that it would fit in better so ill put it in here:
ive used Linux and windows XP/2000 to write software using C/C++/Java/Assembly previously and have recently began using a laptop that has windows 98 se on it. the biggest problem ive been finding is that the command prompt window that comes up does not allow me to scroll up to see output that has passed out of the window range, meaning that if i get more than 4 errors from a compilation i have to try and solve the bottem errors first, which can work sometimes but often the problem is caused by an error further up, which i cant see.
what i want to know is whether there is a tool/application that i can download that will give me a command prompt window that has a scroller on the side that works in windows 9x.
thanks
wilson

I use Ultraedit ver 9.00a, which is an excellent text editor.
I think there was a free version given away at one stage.
You can set up a command line program as a menu item, and capture the
output to a list box or separate text file. Very handy.
I use it to compile Java source code.
The "output window" is also quite clever, I can double click on the error ( which contains a line number ), and it jumps to the source code line. It also does syntax highlighting, and a very handy vertical/column select which no other editor does. Excellent for indenting big blocks of code at once.
No I don't work for them, but UltraEdit gets the McGovern Seal of approval 2003 :-)

Cmd command unrecognized in windows 8 command prompt

I'm trying to create a txt file via command line on windows 8 using the following command in the root directory (C:):
echo getmac for laptop > c:\data\laptop_mac.txt"
cmd /c "getmac >> c:\data\laptop_mac.txt"
The fist line works but the command prompt tells me following with the cmd command: 'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
As a result the file does get created but it doesn't get my mac address like it should. I should point out that the exact same commands works under windows 7 enterprise. I used the sfc/scannow command to check for corrupt files and it did find some files.
I would attach the log if I knew how to attach one. The file is very long and I don't want to post it directly in here because of that.
Also, I did run this in administrator and windows 8 is updated. Finally, I noticed that the cmd command works in the system32 folder but I really don't think I should create a txt file there.

The reason I have 3 quotation marks is because that's what my instructor wrote. What confuses the living heck out of me is the fact that the exact same command with the quotation marks works just fine in windows 7 enterprise. I'm having a hard time understand
why it doesn't work in windows 8.
We have seen discrepancies involving Enterprise versions before. See if the cmd help could explain them:
cmd /?
<extract OS="W8.1 Pro">
If /C or /K is specified, then the remainder of the command line after
the switch is processed as a command line, where the following logic is
used to process quote (") characters:
    1. If all of the following conditions are met, then quote characters
        on the command line are preserved:
        - no /S switch
        - exactly two quote characters
        - no special characters between the two quote characters,
          where special is one of: &<>()@^|
        - there are one or more whitespace characters between the
          two quote characters
        - the string between the two quote characters is the name
          of an executable file.
    2. Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is
        a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and
        remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving
        any text after the last quote character.
</extract>
I guess that might cover my escaped double-quote requirement?
Btw I tried:
cmd /c getmac >> pcmac.txt
and it failed.
What was the symptom exactly and where were you when you tried this (directory-wise)?  E.g. Now I'm wondering where that cmd.exe would be running (therefore writing). If it is at the root or somewhere else protected you might be seeing a permissions
problem that way.  I would try running ProcMon to check on that possibility, as well as clarify exactly what that cmd.exe is doing.
Good luck

Windows 7 Command Prompt Message Errors (cmd.exe)

Opening a command prompt in Windows 7 and running any command results in error messages such as the ones below (in this case a dir command):
01/28/2010 09:06 AM    The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2373 in the message file for Application.
                                       Windows
      The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2378 in the message file for Application.
      The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2379 in the message file for Application.
For other commands it references "System" rather than "Application" in the error message. I've seen other posts online describing the same behavior linked to the copies of Win7 distributed at the Gartner Symposium in October as part of the general availability announcement (this is where I got my copy).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Explorer has never really been able to accept drag-dropped files from multiple users very well, i.e., dragging a file from a window from a user-opened folder into an admin-opened folder. It can be done though with a hack. What I have been able
to do in the past, as a workaround, is hot-login. Hot-login is as opposed to warm-login in which is logging off Explorer and logging back in as a different user, or cold-login which is rebooting the system. It is considered a hack by most Microsoft
professionals though is useful.
To hot-login, then, while logged in as a user use the Task Manager to stop the "explorer.exe" process. This will close all Explorer windows and cause your taskbar and you desktop icons to disappear, but you will still have other applications running,
such as your Cmd windows. Note that due to the user's credentials on that machine, you may need to do this using PsKill (part of PsTools, now a Microsoft Product), using the admin Cmd window itself. After doing that, immediately run explorer.exe
from the admin Cmd window before Explorer has a chance to rerun itself (usually several seconds, though it might never come back by itself).
Doing that should now load the taskbar and desktop back, and they may look different if you previously had them customized. This is because Explorer is now running as admin, as if you had logged into Windows as the admin account. But, part of
the OS is also still running as the user, such as the server and workstation services, so you may, perhaps, be able to drag-drop files between users interchangeably, at that point. In the least, running Explorer as admin has its enough advantages, in
some roles (like server administration), to be useful in and of itself.
This all may of course change after enough updates to Windows security.
Oh -- to access the user-specific desktop icons which are now gone from the actual desktop, find its icons in the respective subfolder in the \Users\ folder on the system drive and use them from there. It should in a \Desktop\ folder right in the respective
user folder. User-specific Quick Launch icons from the taskbar are probably in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\, from the respective user folder.
Now again, this is a hack that I'd use as an Active Directory administrator. It is only needed once per Windows session, usually in conjunction with an AD admin account I had, as logged in and running Cmd via RunAs. Local administrator accounts
function the same way with this process. I don't expect Microsoft to officially endorse this process, so consider it from one power user to the next as the need arises.

Set Title of Windows Command Prompt Window

I'm running a text-only Java application in a Windows XP Command Prompt window. Is there a way for my application to change the title of the window as it runs?

of cross platform similarities. you can always run your program using a batch file and
set the title in there.

Create WiFi Hotspot with Command Prompt?

I was trying to create WiFi Hotspot on my Windows 7-32bit running laptop using the command promt method after followinng the instructions from here >> http://www.techswatch.com/2014/11/create-wifi-hotspot-windows-87-command-prompt.html However, the problem is, after creating the hostpot, when I enter the password it does get connected but I cannot access the internet. I am sure that I have entered the correct password else it wouldn't have got connected. Any idea what could have gone wrong or if I need to follow anything else? Any help would be apprecited.

I think it is better to use Wi-Fi creator to create WiFi in laptop. Search 160 WiFi in Google!

Issues executing report from command prompt

I'm using Oracle 10g Reports and attempting to execute a report from my workstation to output in a spreadsheet format. We don't have a Reports Server implemented at this time, so I'm simply connecting to the database with Reports Builder and running reports. I can execute a report just fine from Reports Builder and output as PDF; however I'm not familiar with how to output as spreadsheet. From what I understand, spreadsheet output cannot be accomplished through the tool, only from the command prompt. I've tried executing the a command inthe following format from Windows XP command prompt, but no luck:
rwrun report=test_report.rdf userid=[usernam/pwd@db] desformat=spreadsheet destype=file desname=c:\temp\test_report.xls
Nothing occurs...no output, nothing when this command is entered. What is the issue? Can rwrun.exe even be used for executing on the client-side? According to Oracle documentation, rwrun is the executable that runs a report using the OracleAS Reports Services.

Hello,
Even if the parameter is deprecated, you can use errfile=c:\temp\reports.err and check if there are some errors ..
or check for a file reports.log

Hi,
you need to make the necessary changes to the %odi%\bin\odiparams.bat config file, under the "Repository Connection Information" section so that startscen knows how to extract metadata from your repository.
You apparently have left the default settings to the Hypersonic demo repository. Is that the technology your repository is hosted on?

HT201413 how do i test a port on my windows 7 computer? i followed the steps in this article, but the command prompt said that "telnet" is not a valid command.

So I havent been able to connect to the iTunes store since June. It's getting a tad annoying. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps that i could find, and I am currently on the last one, which involves making sure that the ports that iTunes needs to function are open on my computer. I followed the article that was telling me how to do this, found my ip address, and was on the step where you actually check the port. I was told to use the command telnet, but when i did, the command prompt told me that " 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." So, I seem to be stuck. If someone could enlighten me on how to actually check if a port is open, or how to fix error code 11222, please let me know.

Windows 7 may need telnet installed, as mentioned in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx
I think 11222 is actually support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. Is that what you see?
I'm guessing you have one of the programs listed there and updating it may resolve.
Tricky bit is some software is bundled with other software - like RealPlayer Plus bundles Speedbit.
I hope that helps.

When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen, looking like a command prompt window, in firefox.

Hi,
When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen covering the whole firefox window and it looks more lika a big command prompt window, in firefox. What is it?
Regards
Jean

Huh, that's a new one...
Can you try Firefox in [[Safe Mode | Safe Mode]] to see if the problem goes away. I'm thinking it's an extension.
*Run ''firefox.exe -safe-mode'' in the search bar on the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added any new extensions recently around the time this started happening? Your system details shows the following:
*Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2 ([email protected])
*Anti-Banner 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])

How to hide command prompt window when using system exec

Hello, I'm using the system exec VI to do some file transfers for a LabVIEW application. I'm worried that the black command prompt window with white scrolling text that pops up when system exec is called might frighten the non-tech savy users of this LabVIEW application. Is there a way to hide the command prompt window?

Thanks a lot

Thank you guys, I have checked the doc and it seems the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(); will start a seperated process.What I need is to open a command prompt window in the same process of my application and display message on it by using System.out.println()
Is it possible?
