Hello, I can’t launch a text file with MS DOS. For an exe: I type in MS DOS: C:\a.exe and it runs. But it doesn’t work for a text file. I tried C:\> C:\a.txt and all the variations, it doesn’t work either. Thank you for your help

Open a text file with cmd ms dos : CCM

In the cmd console, simply type

start notepad nomdufichier.txt

or just

notepad nomdufichier.txt

it will open Notepad for you.

Bieux subject but it ranks well on Google so I'm responding, Micha2b was right, the complete version is:

start notepad file_name.txt

Better late than never, so under DOS it's:

TYPE filename.txt

(to display)

Hello,
this command is to display the content of the file, not to modify it
Thank you.

The command, if I remember correctly, is edit <file name>. You then enter a basic text editor, but it works.

Hello, I have this problem: it says that 'edit' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Actually, I want to run a text file in .bat format, so a file.bat
I found it earlier, it's just a character off and I don't remember the syntax

it's easy you write:

start C:\Users\username\Desktop\a.txt

if it is on the Desktop.

Hello. I saw earlier that people want the text file to be displayed on the console . So I am answering the question: there is the command

edit

but it seems that it does not work on Win 10. There is also the command

type

but it will just display the text file.
Hoping to have helped you, Logon 313, batch operator.

another command to display text

more [file destination]

otherwise, to create a text file,

echo your text >>yourFile.txt

if the file exists and you want to delete its content, change the previous command to

echo your text >>yourFile.txt

here's a small script to put on your USB key:

@echo off
:start
set /p "file=enter the name of the file to open >>"
if exist "%file%.txt" goto continue
echo the file is not found, do you want to create it?
set /p "choice=N for no or any other letter for yes"
if /i "%choice%"=="N" goto start
set file=
set /p "file=enter the new name for the file>>"
goto edit
:continue
echo do you want to replace the file [1] or continue writing it [2]?
set /p "choice2=1 or 2>>"
if %choice2%==1 goto edit
if %choice2%==2 goto edit2
echo bad choice &pause &cls
goto continue
:edit
echo final text:
echo.
echo you can write. to skip a line, press enter.
set /p "text="
echo %text%>%file%.txt
:edit2
cls
echo final text:
type %file%.txt
echo.
echo -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo you can write. to skip a line, press enter.
set /p "text="
echo %text%>>%file%.txt
goto edit2

attention, if you use this script, open it with the program: if you open it with notepad, the characters may look strange.
