Qshell vs. DOS
Hey, Ted:
Learning to write Qshell scripts reminds me of the days
when I wrote DOS batch files on a regular basis. (I still
write a DOS batch file occasionally, but not as
frequently as I used to.) Do you have a handy
DOS-to-Qshell command reference you could share with
us?
-- Chet
Sure. I have a table of rough equivalents. But first, let
me make a comment.
In Unix shells, commands are case-sensitive, but that is
not true of Qshell. To get a directory listing, you can
use either form of the following command:
ls -l
LS -l
However, options are case-sensitive, so the following is
not equivalent to the previous two commands under
Qshell.
LS -L
Here's the table. Keep in mind that these are not exact
equivalents. That is, the Qshell commands do not behave
exactly like their DOS counterparts.
