Usage:

 

ESET allows you to edit environment variables, aliases or user-defined functions using line editing commands, or in a popup window.

 

Unless a specific data type is specified by one of the option switches /A, /D, /F, /S, /U or /V, ESET will search for name among environment variables first and then among aliases, thus if name is both a variable and an alias, ESET will edit the variable name, and ignore the alias name.

 

To edit variables defined in the Windows Registry or to edit functions, you must use the appropriate option switch.

 

If you are editing a typed environment variable (see SET /T), ESET will create a matching regular expression mask for the input.

 

Note: You cannot use ESET with GOSUB variables.

 

If you have enabled global aliases (see ALIAS), any changes made to an alias with ESET will immediately affect all other copies of TCC-RT which are using the same alias list. Similarly, if you have enabled global functions (see FUNCTION), any changes made to a function using ESET /F will immediately affect all other copies of TCC-RT which are using the same function list.

 

ESET will default to looking in the local alias or function list (if it exists). If the name isn't found, ESET will look in the global list (if it exists).

 

ESET supports filename completion and completion of internal variables and variable functions.

 

Registry Variables: Default, System, User, and Volatile registry variables can be manipulated with the ESET command's /D, /S, /U and /V switches, respectively. For example, to edit volatile variable myvar from the registry, use:

 

eset /v myvar

 

Use caution when directly modifying registry variables as they may be essential to various Windows processes and applications.

 

Examples:

 

To edit the executable file search path:

 

eset path

path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\util

 

To create and then edit an alias:

 

alias d = dir /d/j/p

eset d

d=dir /d/j/p

 

ESET allows you to edit environment variables, aliases or user-defined functions using line editing commands, or in a popup window.

To create and then edit an alias:

 

alias d = dir /d/j/p

eset d

d=dir /d/j/p

Options:

 

 

 

 

ESET /c var1 var2

 

where var1 is the variable whose value you want to copy, and var2 is the variable (new or existing) that you want to update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ESET /W can be combined with a registry environment key (/S, /U, /D, /V) to edit the Windows registry environment values.
