How would I color my output in Windows 7 using TakeCommand 26?

Sad to hear that...

After upgrading from 25 to 26, with my tcmd.ini unchanged, e.g. "echo $e[34;1;42mHello, $e[m world!" will no longer print in color... I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit.

@vefatica Hohoho - you did it ;-) Enjoy your retirement!

@vince The icon is not changed (I got this wrong in my initial post, as the first TCC started would have a different icon statically assigned), and %_? is -4. Thanks for looking into this!

@vince Thanks for the new DLL. However, now I receive the error (Windows 10 only) in the attached image...

@vince Any chance for a fix? If so, do you need additional info?

In Windows 10 (64-bit, latest version of 4console.dll, and tcc.exe), I keep getting the following error message: > seticon c:\Windows\Resources\icons\tcc_blk.ico SETICON error: code = -4 > dir c:\Windows\Resources\icons\tcc_blk.ico 10.06.2009 07:56 13.262 tcc_blk.ico the icon file...

@gentzel That's an argument you can use in either direction. (And in fact, it was already used by JPSoft to turn down other requests "this is not compatible with cmd.exe"). Anyway, I take it that most of the guys on this forum are ok with the current implemention; well then - so will I.

First of all: Thanks for your input. However: What about the highly-praised compatibility of tcc? What when it comes to executing batches with "unknown" content?

I understand that. However, this breaks compatibility with cmd.exe which also supports "+" for "copy" (besides, AFAIK there is no "copy+<to_something>"). Wouldn't it just be possible to accept "+" as part of the first token in the command line?

That's a workaround, not a solution that is compatible with the behavior when there is no "c.btm" or no "g" alias. The program name is "c++" not "c". I think this is a parsing problem; having e.g. a "c.cmd" (or "c.bat" for that matter) in "c:\windows" doesn't prevent cmd.exe from starting "c++.exe".

Calling c++ or g++ from tcc.exe results in the following errors when either a batch file, or an alias with a shorter name (matching the command name before the "++") is defined: PROMPT> c++ Usage: db [bcimp] (calls c.btm) PROMPT> g++ fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent...

@vefatica I'd like to replace some of MSys's "rm -rf ..."s - which sadly are much slower than "del" (which is not the fault of "rm" but that of MSys). Using your method would require me to replace quite a lot of "rm -rf" commands with the above mentioned "do" command which seems quite a bit of...

The docs for rmdir state: "File Selection Supports command dialog, extended wildcards, ranges, multiple file names, and include lists." Unfortunately wildcards (and maybe others) are not supported, so that e.g. rmdir /qs hsperfdata_* fails with TCC: (Sys) The directory name is invalid...
