What's New - Version 13
Contents
NEW VERSION OVERVIEW - Take Command 13.04
VIEW - The menus and dialogs are now available in English, French, Russian, and Spanish. The first time you run VIEW, it will set the language to the one defined in TCMD.INI. If you want to change it, you can select a language by starting VIEW, and selecting Tools / Preferences from the menu.
Updated all of the Internet libraries (ip*.dll).
NEW VERSION OVERVIEW - Take Command 13.03
Updated all of the Internet libraries (ip*.dll).
Updated zip library.
Updated registration (licensing) library.
New installer version.
Added Google Translate to web help.
MKLINK - /D will now create a directory symlink even if the directory to link to does not exist (for CMD compatibility).
NEW VERSION OVERVIEW - Take Command 13.02
The batch debugger editor and command input editor have been upgraded to a major new version.
Added the feedback tab to the web help pages.
BDEBUGGER - Added the Ctrl-F3, F3, and Shift-F3 keys (find next / find prev).
NEW VERSION OVERVIEW - Take Command 13.01
The local help (tcmd.chm) has a number of new display options.
Take Command and TCC now have the option to use either the new Web Help or the local help (tcmd.chm). The web help
has some additional features, including the ability to add comments to help topics.
The search algorithm for the popup windows has changed slightly. TCC will append a * to the search string unless the last character of the string is a wildcard (?, *, or ]), or if the search string is a regular expression (the first two characters of the string are ::).
MKLINK - The /X option no longer requires two arguments.
Take Command/LE has been discontinued. Existing Take Command/LE customers have been sent a free update to the full Take Command version.
.INI Directives:
WebHelp=yes|NO - New TCMD.INI directive (set in the Take Command and the TCC configuration dialogs). If set,
Take Command and TCC will use the web help at https://jpsoft.com/help/index.htm instead of the local help.
NEW VERSION OVERVIEW - Take Command 13.0
This is a summary of the new features. For complete details, see the appropriate topics in this help file. Features marked with a * are also in TCC/LE; all other features are Take Command and/or TCC only.
Feature List:
| * | TCC/LE is now available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. |
| * | Removed the (non-Windows) limits on filename and argument size. The maximum filename size (dictated by Windows) and single argument size is now 32,767 characters. |
| * | The maximum (input) command line is now 65,535 characters. |
| * | The maximum expanded command line size is now 131,072 characters. |
| * | Fuzzy directory (jpstree.idx) updates (in MD, RD, DEL /S/X, etc.) are twice as fast as v12. |
The Take Command toolbar has a new button "V" that will call the new file viewer VIEW (see below).
All of the popup windows (history lists, filename completion, @select, etc) have an edit control on the toolbar. Entering a search string there (or just typing while the popup window has focus) will eliminate non-matching entries from the window. The search string can also contain wildcards or regular expressions. (For example, entering *jpsoft* in the edit control at the top of the window will select all matching lines that contain "jpsoft" anywhere.)
All paging options (/P) in TCC now accept an "All" key to turn off paging. (This will vary by language, and is shown in the prompt.)
TCC now sets the default regular expression syntax (according to the value set in TCMD.INI) at startup and after saving new values in OPTION. (This is only of interest to plugin authors.)
The persistent directory history file is now only loaded if either local directory history is set, or TCC thinks it is the first instance. But since there's no such thing as "shell levels" in Windows, TCC can only guess (based on the TCMD.INI inheritance).
If the DirHistoryOnEntry .INI directive is set, TCC will save its startup directory to the directory history.
A Ctrl-Enter in the Command Input window will execute the current line and move the cursor down to the next line (without inserting a line).
Take Command now saves toolbar changes done through the add tab or create/edit button dialogs (previously it required you to right click in the toolbar & select "Save to .INI").
Help file updates.
.INI Directives:
AliasSize - Set the size of the global alias list (in characters). (The default is 256K.)
BeepFreq / BeepLength-- you can play a system sound on an error by setting BeepLength to 0 and BeepFreq to the desired sound:
0 - Windows default beep sound
16 - Windows Critical Stop sound
32 - Windows Question sound
48 - Windows Exclamation sound
64 - Windows Asterisk sound
DelWipePasses - The number of passes for a DEL /W. The range is 1-9; the default is 3.
FunctionSize - Set the size of the global function list (in characters). (The default is 128K.)
Command Line Editing:
A Ctrl-Enter in the Command Input window will execute the current line and move the cursor down to the next line (without inserting a line).
An Alt-F1 will look to see if the (first and only) argument on the line is an internal command with a command dialog (see below), and if so invoke the dialog.
The popup history windows have an edit control on the toolbar. Entering a search string there (or just typing while the popup window has focus) will eliminate non-matching entries from the window.
New Commands:
Send an HTML email.
SENDHTML [/A file1 [/A file2 ...] /D /Eaddress /H"header: value" /In /M /Pn /R /Sn /SSL[=n] /V] "address[,address...] [cc:address[,address] bcc:address[,address...]]" subject [ text | @msgfile ]
file1... The attachment files
address The destination email address
subject The subject line
text The message to send
msgfile The file containing the message body
/SSL=n SSL negotiation type
/A file Attachment
/D Delivery Confirmation
/E Reply-to address
/H Send custom header
/In Importance
/M CRAM-MD5 authentication
/Pn Priority
/R Send read receipt
/Sn Sensitivity
/V Verbose
/X Send EHLO instead of HELO
If you pass "/=" as the argument, SENDHTML will display a dialog to help you with the command line options.
Run the new internal command dialogs. . See the Commands section for details.
The syntax is:
TCDIALOG command
If "command" does not have a dialog, TCDIALOG returns a usage error.
VIEW is a replacement for LIST. The syntax is:
VIEW [/A:[[-|+]rhsadecijopt /A /B /E /F /FIX /FLAT / GB /H /L /L:n ?LEN:n /O:xx /P /R /S:xx /T /TEXT /VH /W] file ...
| /= | Display the VIEW command dialog to help you set the filename and command line options. You cannot specify any other arguments on the command line. |
| /A: | Select only those files that have the specified attribute(s) set. See Attribute Switches for information on the attributes which can follow /A:. Do not use /A: with @file lists. See @file lists for details. |
You can specify /A:= to display a dialog to help you set individual attributes.
| /A | View the file in ASCII mode. This is the default mode and will only need to be specified in order to override an existing EBCDIC mode. |
| /B | View the file in EBCDIC mode. VIEW normally automatically determines if a file is EBCDIC and automatically sets this mode. |
| /E | Start viewing the file from the end instead of the beginning. |
| /F | Standard input has been redirected (such as the output of a DIR command). (VIEW can normally determine this on its own.) |
| /FIX:n | When viewing a file, the display may be fixed at a certain column position so that any text to the left of the fixed column will always be visible (ie, it will not scroll off the screen). |
| /FLAT | Enables Flat Text Mode. This is a cross between text and hex modes. The file is displayed as text, however, control characters like line feeds and tabs are not expanded, and the file is always wrapped at the specified wrap length. |
| /GB | Enables Greenbar Mode. (Each alternating line is in a different color.) |
| /H | View the file in Hex mode. |
| /L | Display the last file that was viewed. (This will be the first file in the Recent Files list.) |
| /L:n | Start displaying the file from line number n. A solid blue line will appear at the top of the file, indicating that a non-zero start offset is being used. |
| /LEN:n | Set the wrap length to n. |
| /O:xx | Start displaying the file from offset xx. |
| /P | Print the file and exit VIEW when finished. |
| /R | When started with no parameters, VIEW will browse the current directory. By specifying the /R option, VIEW will display the directory that it last browsed. |
| /S | The /S option is used to tell VIEW to start displaying the file at the position of a string match. The format of the /S command line option is as follows: |
/S:SearchString /SO:[CWRHUB] /SN:n /SC:Columns
| where SO can contain a series of letters which correspond to the options in the search dialog box. These can be one of: |
| C | Match case |
| W | Word Only |
| R | Regular Expression |
| H | Hex/Binary |
| U | Unicode |
| B | Search backwards (from end of file) |
SN indicates which occurrence of the string to find. By default, the first match is found (n=1).
SC can be used to restrict the search to certain columns.
If the search string contains spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes.
| /T | Enable File Tailing. If data is added to the file while you are viewing it, it will automatically be updated. There is no need to press the Refresh button to see any changes since the file was loaded. This is particularly useful when viewing log files while they are still being updated. |
| /TEXT | Open the files in text mode (opposite of /H). (This is the default.) |
| /VH | Display the file in Vertical Hex Mode. This is a cross between Text and Hex modes. The file is displayed one line at a time (just as in text mode). However, each line is followed by 2 lines containing the hex code of each character in the line. |
| /W | Display the VIEW window in a Take Command tab window. |
