Windows Command Line Enhancement

March 15, 2007 by bofe

Not all of us can escape Windows, especially at our day jobs. Did you think you’d ever see this from a Windows Command Line?

ls -la | grep txt

Do you ever type ‘ls’ at a Windows prompt only to get “command not found”?

Enter UnxUtils which is a collection of GNU ports to Win32.

Extract these to your system32 folder or hit Windows+Pause (System Properties) and go to Advanced -> Environment Variables and add whereever you extract them to your “Path” System Variable.
