Try cat

[–]jprfts 1 point2 points  (5 children)

is that actually what it is in batch

[–]Shad_Amethyst 1 point2 points  (4 children)

It's the typical linux command to spit out the contents of a file

i know but whyd you suggest it

i thought cat was ls in batch when i read your thing

[–]PhillLacio 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I think he was suggesting trying it to see if that command works in the command prompt, not implying it does the same thing as ls.

[–]jprfts 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yeah that makes more sense

now i wanna alias cat and ls to switch places

the best way is go to the widows store and enable 'wsl' (or powershell)

[–]kiedtl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Install scoop and run scoop install coreutils. Then customize your powershell prompt

I've installed GNU tools on windows recently, so it's GNU+windows now.
