Guest TehHacks Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi, I am not that very experianced with the windows command line, as i learnt how to use the command line properly on *nix systems and i have only ever used the windows command line to do things like "IPCONFIG" "PING" or just basicly navigating the hardrive. However I am writeing a .BAT script that displays information that is retrived from several programs that have been writen in c++, its not very usefull its just something i have been messing around with. When i run the .BAT file, it works fine, but only in a small window on the screen and the only way i can get it to display full screen is if i press alt + enter, i would like it to display full screen, like the terminal that comes up on linux if you press ctrl + alt + backspace. is there an internal BATCH command that can do this? or is it possible to write another program (in C, C++, ect) that would do this for me.

Sparda Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 If the output is too big for it to be properly displayed you are best off outputting to a file where there are no screen restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TehHacks Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'm sorry i think you may have missunderstood me, either that or i am just being incredably dence. i will re-phrase the question, with the help of graphical aids. i was wondering if there was an internal BATCH command that would make my batch script display in the command prompt window like this (fake screen shot, because you can not take a screenshot when command prompt is in full screen mode): http://www.tehhacks.com/othersites/dosfull.JPG rather than how it is being displayed now, which is like this: http://www.tehhacks.com/othersites/dosnotfull.JPG (sorry for the horrible desktop in the screen shot, i am on my sisters computer, and lets just say its rather ... neglected) or would it be possible to write a program that would this for me. i hope i made myself more clear.

Sparda Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 WTF BMP?! I don't understand why you need it to the be full screen. The only real reason for it is when the output is too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TehHacks Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Sorry about the BMP. i didnt think. i re-uploaded and JPG anyway the question is not why, but how. I want to know for the sake of wanting to know. Consider it a search for knowledge, and the fact that my OCD wont stop bothering me untill i find out.

Sparda Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 well, this can't be done in the script, but you can specifie it in the properties of the betch file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Create a shortcut to the file... and check the properties of the shortcut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
