#DOS TEXT EDITOR FOR WINDOWS 10 CODE#
Recently i ran into a problem where Win GUI won't boot any further from the OS selection menu (probably due to some changes in CMOS/EFI settings or deleting a small accessory disk partition.) I had access to recovery tools from the menu and and on trying toīoot an error code was returned ( online troubleshooting pointed out to some change in h/w > probably due deletion of an automatically created ~(250-500 mB) partition ) Diskpart was an available handy tool but couldn't help me rescue data. Or offer a suitable alternative (which Notepad, whatever version, is not.)Īlthough i don't have any solution to your prob. Nobody was actually helping the original topic - that MS screwed up a bit here.Ĭan´t be that expensive to recode a valuable tool like Edit in 64bit. But it opens a new window - if you wanna do stuff fast you don´t want a new window.Īlso notepad is readily available in a WinPE (Shell Install/Boot ) Environment. what this is all about - to look into a file on the fly, just in a shell. but lately i have begun laughing at the guys clicking wildly at an error message on a GUI instead of understanding and solving the problem in-depth. I use the cmd.exe in my daily work as an administrator. Having a simple command that lets you browse/edit text/ini files on the shell is such a basic, standard, useful feature one can only hit the desk with one´s own forehead multiple times if some company actually removes it.īut there is hope - since MS is going for native Linux support and more command-line style of computer handling (powershell) we might even get that feature back.Īnd no you´re not old and nostalgic. So i found out that our Windows command shell still sucks in comparison to any Unix or fork thereof (Linux anyone?). I was in the situation where i needed the shell command (yes SHELL/BASH whatever, not dos-exclusive). Today i ran into the same problem you did. Legacy OSes, such as Windows 95 ran on top of DOS, but that hasn't happened since Windows ME (Windows "Might Explode").Īnd i too remember the (D)OS times.

As you pointed out, DOS is an operating system, and Windows 7 is a separate operating system. Since you're lecturing people who are attempting to help you, I should point out that you do not use DOS to edit files, and you did not do this in Windows 7 either. Typing Help there will list all the commands available.Īs I said in my post, this all shows my age!

You'll find if you ask Cortana in WINDOWS 10 to find the DOS prompt it will do so and the DOS box opens on the screen in which you can type DOS commands.

It doesn't draw pretty pictures on the screen! And the software I use to write my programs only works on DOS. To doing scientific work and complex calculations. I use a programming language called FORTRAN (short for Formula Translator) which has been around since the 1960s and is geared I still write computer programs for scientific work simply because there are no 'apps' available to do the things I want to do. Things like WORD, EXCEL etc nor did we have the internet. In those days, the only way to get a computer to do anything for you was to write your own programs (or 'apps' as they are now called) to do what you wanted. I have been using computers for scientific work since the 1970s. Basically they are commands that let you muck around with files - copy them, delete them, shift them to other 'folders' (which we called 'directories' in DOS) and WINDOWS allowed you to have several applications open at once and you could swap between them (it was like you were looking in to several windows, which is where the name came from).ĭOS commands are quite simple and a few things are still easier to do in DOS than in WINDOWS. Next big change and that started in the 1990s. Personal computers started to become available in the 1980s and most ran on DOS. It was the operating system for personal computers that Bill Gates invented originally and his fortune rose from that.
