What commands are available in the command line feature?

The command line (command line) feature creates batch jobs that run through your command line.

The command line (Also known as DOS - Disk Operating System) is part of your operating system and gives you access to the environment that windows runs from.

The actual commands on your command line are part of your operating system and not part of FileMonkey.

Each operating system may have a slightly different set of commands. You can add new commands to your command line by installing command line programs (for example, mp3 encoders).

The basic set of commands that are part of the standard windows installation are:

attrib	Display or change file or folder attributes
cd	Display or change the current directory
choice	Select a choice from a pre-defined list
cls	Clear the command line output screen
copy	Copy a file(s) from one location to another
date	Display or change the current system date
del	Delete a file(s)
dir	List the contents of a directory
echo	Output text to the command line output screen
exit	Exit the current command prompt
format	Format a disk
md	Make a new directory
move	Move a file(s) from one location to another
rd	Remove a directory
ren	Rename a file(s)

Most commands will also have additional features. To find out more about a command, you can get help from the command line by typing the command name followed by /?. For example, type dir/? for more help on the dir command.
