CMD (request) - Command Prompt Control+Z Not Functioning

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      At Windows Command Prompt:

      ... control-Z is used to signal an end-of-file when typing at a terminal, terminal emulator, MS-DOS command line, or Win32 console... On Windows it can also terminate the output from your current typing.

      For example, to create a text file from DOS on Windows you would use:

      C:\> COPY CON file.txt(Return)
      The quick brownfox jumped...(Control+Z)
      ^Z
      1 file(s) copied.
      C:\>

      Step 1: From DOS on Windows XP type the above command "COPY CON file.txt" and press return.

      Step 2: Type some text and press Control+Z to terminate your text entry.

      Step 3: You have now created a .txt file with what you typed.

      Pressing Control+Z sends a end-of-file keyboard command, terminating the output from you and closing the text file you initated with the COPY CON statement.

      Currently the CON command is also missing but the Control+Z command should be added first for consistency I think. Anyway just a request. I use it quite often when I'm creating batch files.
