My file's path is D:\installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe.
Now I want to run the wingide.exe file on the command line. So first, I enter cmd to the startup box, then get C:\Documents and settings\Administrator>
Then I typed d: then installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe after it. and click the enter key. It shows D:\installed is not an command. Why? How can I correct this?
The Windows command prompt (I hope you are not actually using MS-DOS!) does not care about what keys you've typed. It cares about the command you are attempting to run and it seems it's this:
installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe
So you are asking to run program "installed" and pass three parameters to it:
software\Wing
IDE
3.2\bin\wingide.exe
... because that's how most command prompts work: you use white space to separate items. You probably want this:
"installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe"
or:
"D:\installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe"
Your path has a space in it so you need to put quotes around it. Try typing:
"D:\installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe"
Type:
"D:\installed software\Wing IDE 3.2\bin\wingide.exe"

I open files in WebStorm from the terminal with the command webstorm . when I'm working in a directory.
Is there a way to change the command webstorm to anything more, like wstorm or something shorter to open files fluently?
I'm using macOS.
I Know one way but it's temporary, works untill you close the terminal.
-in your terminal
W=webstorm
then you can use $W in your command instead of webstorm.
Looks like the hint above is very good.
So assuming the shell script "webstorm" is working and your question is how to modify the command AND you want to do it fluently.
Make an alias (your shell may vary, mine is bash)
in the appropriate 'dot' file for your shell
add an alias for webstorm -e like this
alias we='webstorm -e'
now when I want to open a file quickly I type
we filename
And this opens Webstorm in LightEdit mode which opens faster and has a link to access full IDE.
Works like a charm. Also, you could make more than one alias so say ws for the full ide. Enjoy
I downloaded the cmder shell and would like to integrate it with VS Code and use it as one of the terminals.
In VS Code, when I go to View->Command Pallette, and then type Terminal: Select Default Shell, I am promoted with a drop-down list that looks like the following
I would like to have a fourth option, for Cmder. So the list would include "Command Prompt, PowerShell, Git Bash, and Cmder". How do I add this option?
Thanks.
You can follow below link :

You need to edit the terminal integrated path in settings.json file to which ever thing you want it to compile it with
I for security reasons cannot run VSCode plainly. I have opened it in the past, but now due to specific reasons, I may only run VSCode from the command prompt. I've tried
start "path/to/file" code and start code "path/to/file"
but none work I'm on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.407]
how may I run this by going to Windows+R then 'cmd' then start/ run?
Also it would be great if I could use this for a separate user.
I'm looking for something like:
Runas /user:user\admin /savecred "C:\Program Files (x86)\vs-code.exe"
The use of start is useless if VSCode is in the environment variables.
You can use code C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\File.c for exemple.If it doesn't work, I advise you to use a vbs script instead
You also don't need to run VSCode as an administrator unless you need to edit a file in a protected folder.
Maybe not the exact answer to the question, but...
To start Visual-Studio-Code from CMD into the current folder write:
code %cd%
The environment variable cd tell VS-Code to open it with the current folder
just open a cmd terminal and type code followed by
just open a cmd terminal and type code followed by return keyborad key.
Well shoot, as it turns out that after doing some experimentation I found out that there's a way. Do this:
Simply stick this:
runas /user:Techtiger255\admin /savecred "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe"
inside of a shortcut (.lnk file)
Open your command line of choice (Powershell or Cmd) and enter the exact file path of your shortcut ex:
"C:\Users\Standard\Desktop/VSCODE.lnk" and hit go, stupidly simple really, just had to find the code.exe file path.
I downloaded and installed the program "cppcheck" (http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/).
This program has both a GUI (which I can access without problems) and a command line interface.
However, when I go to the windows command prompt and type "where cppcheck", nothing can be found.
Am I crazy? Or is the command line interface for cppcheck only accessible on Unix systems?
Since I usually don't work with Windows, I didn't realise that the "where" command just looks in the current folder and child folders of the current folder. That's why I didn't get any results.
You have to add it in the environment variables since the cppcheck installer does not add it automatically. This way you can use the where command from any folder as it also checks the environment variables too.
I'm trying to create a .cfg file for bcc32 compiler and I'm following the instructions. I have installed correctly and placed an environment path as instructed but when I type "edit bcc32.cfg" into the command prompt it says that edit isn't a valid command? What am I supposed to do?
You could also create a .bat file, edit.bat, to replace the 16-bit edit program (removed because x64 windows flavors won't run it) which would launch your favorite editor.
#echo off
notepad %1
#echo on
This is what I wound up doing as a simple patch so I could carry on the way I always had for the most part. Just type:
edit myfile.ext
in the command prompt to use it.
Note: notepad is not my favorite editor - this is just an example that will work with stock windows.
Note 2: #echo off and #echo on are shown for clarity. You may also shorten this by omitting the echo statements and simply placing the # before the command to be silenced.
#notepad %1
I just use notepad (since they took out the edit command) from the command window like so:
C:\Borland\BCC55\bin> notepad bcc32.cfg
The file will open in notepad for editing. When you've finished editing the file, save it and you're done.
I have found this works for seeing in-window text of a complete file, on a 64bit machine. Once your path is set in cmd prompt, type the word type... followed by "filename" do you see how I used the quotes around the filename only!
type "filename"
You type it just like this (changing filename for your files name) and you will be able to see the entire file text in the cmd window. Not sure how to edit from here on but maybe someone can figure it out from here and tell me.
Assuming you're using Windows 7 (where edit.exe and edlin.exe have been removed):
Use powershell.exe instead of cmd - thereby edit will be available via command line.
Take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell
simple answer....
if your using an old version of windows (xp e.t.c...) you would be able to use edit
but since your using new version of windows, Microsoft has updated and removed the commands that they think are not relevant e.g.. (msg, edit) depending if its a bit32 bit64 or bit82...
