Did you know about cmdLine: PRO?

Included with your copy of cmdLine:// Plus! is another program called cmdLine: PRO.  PRO is the best utility for those of you who write scripts or batch files!  Almost all of the commands that are available with Plus! are available with PRO.  PRO also includes a special option to output the results as a SET command to facilitate the setting of local environment variables.  A typical use is renaming or setting a filename to include the current date.  Now, with PRO, you can do this with two lines.

The first line is redirecting the output of CLP.exe to a .bat file, which will contain the
SET varname=value command.

The second line is calling the .bat file to set the variable.

Its that simple!

You'll find the program (CLP.EXE) in the application's program directory

 
Help on commands:
math:// | date:// | time:// | text:// | text://regex... | reg:// | props://
 

 
Here you will find help and example for every aspect of cmdLine://

The example are for both the Plus! and PRO versions, the only difference being that any commands that display windows or dialogs (the calendar for example) will be ignored in the PRO version.

Currently there are six major cmdLine:// operations, though more are expected in the near future, so return often to see if there are any new features that might be useful to you.

The current cmdLine:// operation are as follows:

• math://
• date://
• time://
• text://
• reg://
• props://

You may find the following information useful:

• The '//' after the colon (:) is optional.  both math:12.23*45 and math://12.34*56 work equally as well.
• the commands are NOT case sensitive, that is, Math: math: and MATH: all will work.
