@eozdil is there any way for dir to fill the screen horizontally instead of fucking filling your screen with mostly whitespace in a decently large directory?
-
hacker17468y@chrisrhymes because the "/" is used for the flags for the command, I believe. Which I think is completely retarded. -
A very handy command for this exact situation "doskey ls=dir $*" it at least puts the ls tourettes to good use
-
eozdil528y@gitcommit Probably not but I'll look tomorrow and if I can find something I'll let you know. -
@gitcommit /w will output the results using the width if the screen and /p will page the results so they don't output all at once for large directories
-
@DewWisp what he said. And also add some lines in your powershell profile to remove ls and other aliases
