Some Additional Tips



All the command prompt commands usually include many parameters that can be used. To find out what the parameters are provided, add a space and /? after the command you want known. eg attrib /?, PING /?. Each added parameter, before a slash (/) do not forget to add space.

If we want results we write commands that can be stored in a text, each end of the command can we add a ">" and follow the file name. For example the following command:

IPCONFIG / all> D: \ hasil_cmd_config.txt

Then the result will not appear on the command prompt, but stored in the file "hasil_in_config.txt" in drive D:. If the folder or file name contains spaces, then should we give two quotes at the beginning and end. For example as follows:

IPCONFIG / all> "D: \ cmd results config.txt"
