Re: Multi-line menu with options selection via DOSKEY

Szecska the replace method was a way of get an input where choice was not present in the windows. I not remeber from which version of windows it was included, maybe windows 8 ? I'm interested anyways in the cause of fail using fat32 filesystem, maybe use: replace "%tmp%\?" "%tmp%\." /u /w will work ?

Re: Listc - a modern Windows file explorer/viewer in the console window

I found doskey.exe (19 KB) print anything and is lightweight than cmd.exe (268 KB) Other option can be rundll32.exe (68 KB) this works okay. :CreatePipe doskey 1>...

Hello. @jeffshead: sorry for the late reply, your solution was right, because the \ character is used as the escape sequence character. @fred_gaou, I cannot remember what was the last version of out.exe, but I deprecated it because you can achieve the same functionality using my bg program v3.9se us...
