Tired of doing a print screen or a mark->copy on a DOS command box?

Tired of doing a print screen or a mark->copy on a DOS command box? Here's a better way

 

To copy the contents of your screen to a text editor like notepad, you can perform the following command instead of copying the text one screen at a time:

C:\> <dos_command> | clip

 

For example,

 

If you want to see all contents of the Program Files folder in your drive C:

1.             Select the Windows Start button, select Run and type "CMD" to launch a DOS session.

2.             Type C:\>dir "Program Files" | clip

3.             Open a text editor and press [Ctrl]V to paste the contents.

 

The clip command will copy the output results of the <dos_command> to your Windows clipboard. Once you are in your text editor, do a normal paste like any Windows applications. This command works in XP and Vista as well as the newer Windows Servers (Windows 2000 Server and Up).
