So after some more testing, unfortunately mobaxterm is reported incompatible with one of the libraries of the application I need to run. Too bad, because mobaxterm looks very cool. Anyway, I discovered that ConEmu can do what I need. And I also found ways to do it with bare Windows consoles plus...

Too bad you removed it! I would have upvoted it. I think input broadcasting is a useful feature for system management. Take Command being multi-tabbed should have it. Thanks John, it looks very promising. The free version of mobaxterm includes this feature, so I started playing with it...

May the force be with... them, then!

Yes, I did last Christmas. What are you up to now?

Hi everyone, it's been long since I was here, I confess. I'm looking for a way to type input to two tabs at once. Each tab is running the same application, a console-based text file search. So when I type 'a' it's sent to both consoles, which consume it, 'b' to both which consume it, and so on...

Happy for you!

TotalCommader displays and edits file descriptions. Generally speaking, be careful matching the maximum description length setting between TCC and the file manager. I think default max length is 512 for TCC and 1024 for TotalCommander (you can change that in totalcmd.ini). One minor point, TCC...

Of course I tried it. When I don't I usually add "(untested)" to the code in my replies. Did you notice that the first lin my code block is a comment and not a setdos command? The solution I gave you is equivalent to Charles' - there's only a difference in how > is escaped, ^ vs backquote.

rem or use setdos /x-6 set string=test1^<test2^>test3 set string > file.txt

I'm looking for ideas on how to unblock @select in a TCC LE script. I ran out of ideas and plugins to try. Consider this script do 2 echo -- %@select[C:\Windows\win.ini,50,100,175,400,Select...] enddo When it runs it displays the selection window and stops. I want for the script to unblock...

Rex, I noticed that this feedback item http://jpsoft.uservoice.com/forums/94009-take-command/suggestions/5862465-regularly-updated-list-of-tcc-commands-for-externa was marked completed. I assume it was implemented but I'm unclear how. Where can I find the the list of syntax tokens, or the...

@isusb can also take just a single letter, i.e., e, as a parameter. Or a full or relative path, or just a file name. As long as the argument resides on a USB device (hard disk or removable stick) @isusb returns 1. @isusb also resolved common types of redirection a few times, three, I think...

Telnet alone I don't think so. Telnet is a purely text protocol, just like email. You'd need some sort of terminal emulator, possibly over telnet, to write directly to an emulated console. But then I don't know that SCRPUT, DRAWBOX etc. write control sequences, do they?

Some of my scripts use QKEYS. I think it enables directly marking the copy area in a console window as opposed to marking it from the console pull-down menu. Something like that.

MKLNK seems to set %_? to zero even in the face of errors. I could test this issue on an XP machine as I don't have a newer OS with me at the moment. Rex, if you do think this is an actual bug would you please roll a fix for TCCLE, too? I can reproduce on TCMD 16.00.43 and TCCLE 13.06.77. TCC...
