You can use doskey to create an alias on any version of windows up to Windows XP (I'm not sure if it's available on Vista).
doskey will only work within the environment that it's invoked in and if you want the aliases to be available every time you start cmd.exe will need to write a script that will load them upon invoking your cmd prompt (cmd /K "My_Environment_Script.bat").
Example:
I often need to change drives and cd doesn't handle it very well but chdir does. However, the length of the command is tiresome to type every time I need it so I do this...
So when I type:
This question maybe in the wrong category but I'm posting here due to urgency.
In DOS is there a command to perform a similar function to spool command in SQL or Script command in UNIX?

I have navigated every DOS and UNIX FAQ to find the DOS equivalent of the UNIX ps command (ps -f would be even better) but all listings of DOS<>UNIX commands do not have it (they all have the same basic commands listed). DOS must have a way of detecting running processes and TSRs. mem /c is the... (7 Replies)

Hi,
The title of this post is a little vague but I couldn't think of what to call it.
In Unix you can perform the following command
ftp -v IPADDRESS <<END
put FILE
END
In a DOS command prompt, is it possible to do the same kind of thing that the "<<END" does?
So for example, ... (4 Replies)

browser::open
Browser::Open(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Browser::Open(3)NAME
Browser::Open - open a browser in a given URL
VERSION
version 0.03
SYNOPSIS
use Browser::Open qw( open_browser );
### Try commands specific to the current Operating System
my $ok = open_browser($url);
# ! defined($ok): no recognized command found
# $ok == 0: command found and executed
# $ok != 0: command found, error while executing
### Try all known commands
my $ok = open_browser($url, 1);
DESCRIPTION
The functions optionaly exported by this module allows you to open URLs in the user browser.
A set of known commands per OS-name is tested for presence, and the first one found is executed. With an optional parameter, all known
commands are checked.
The "open_browser" uses the "system()" function to execute the command. If you want more control, you can get the command with the
"open_browser_cmd" or "open_browser_cmd_all" functions and then use whatever method you want to execute it.
API
All functions are not exported by default. You must ask for them explicitly.
open_browser
my $ok = open_browser($url, $all);
Find an appropriate command and executes it with your $url. If $all is false, the default, only commands that match the current OS will be
tested. If true, all known commands will be tested.
If no command was found, returns "undef".
If a command is found, returns the exit code of the execution attempt, 0 for success. See the "system()" for more information about this
exit code.
If no $url is given, an exception will be thrown: "Missing required parameter $url".
open_browser_cmd
my $cmd = open_browser_cmd();
Returns the best command found to open a URL on your system.
If no command was found, returns "undef".
open_browser_cmd_all
my $cmd = open_browser_cmd_all();
Returns the first command found to open a URL.
If no command was found, returns "undef".
