REVERT TO CONSOLE

A couple of Windows batch files.
Because sometimes while I’m at a Windows Console, I’m still thinking UNIX commands.

Launching a graphical executable from the command line

vi.bat


@echo off
start "title" /b "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe" %*


Locating the executable in the classpath

which.bat


@ECHO OFF
setlocal
set DELAY=YES
set DELAY=!DELAY!

if "%DELAY%" == "YES" (
set files=
for %%i in (%PATHEXT%) DO set files=!files!;%1%%i
for %%i in (!files!) DO if EXIST %%~$PATH:i (@echo.%%~$PATH:i)
) else (
if "%2" == "with_delay" (
echo Invalid state. Prevent infinite recursion
) else (
cmd /v:on /c which.bat %1 with_delay
)
)
endlocal
