How to Customize Command Prompt

Hey, what’s going on guys? This is Master Jake. And God, I’m just on crack or something. Okay! Basically the point of this video is to show you that the Master Jake command prompt is ready for release version of 1.0. Now, what’s different between this Master Jake command prompt and the one you might have tried along time ago is this one requires that you edit nothing. All you got to do is pop up the program and start it up. Another difference is that it only uses commands that I made. You can't use regular CMD commands like let’s say, “set blah=1”. It’s not a valid command. Now, I’ll show you the command that comes with version 1.0. If you type help, you’ll see there’s only four main ones that come with it but I’ll explain why in a few minutes. CD command, change the directory, this works pretty much exactly the same way as DOS or CD command works. LS, that’s just like the DIR command in DOS. Type LS except mine is a lot better. Now, it displays directories first and it falls on the bottom. You could see I don’t have any files and programs files because that’s a directory of the storage folders. Let’s go back to CD and then LS.directory and you can see I have four files in this one. Now, the help command for every command is the -? so you can type that in there and view the help for everything. You can see the switch is going in order, they must be in the order that they show up in the Help for information. So, if you have like another set of brackets over here then one of these switches has to go before one of those switches. So, just keep that in mind. You can see the /D that displays only directories. So if I LS/D, you see no files pop up. And if I LS/F, you see no directories pop up. Exit of course might actually ask you if you want to exit those, so you know, that’s kind of nice. And then open which is one that I threw in at the last second because—told me to. Actually, I haven’t tested this yet, so let’s go ahead and do that real quick. There’s a syntax and all that. Just open the program and there’s—it always includes an example of what’s going to users, master jake, desktop. No, actually let’s go back to C, let’s go into files, olds.txt. Okay, open up oldss.txt, there it is right there so that command works. All right! So yeah, now I’ll go ahead and explain why there’s only four commands. If you open up your command folder, you can see all the commands are here. Now, this program and all the commands are open source, so you can view how I remade each other commands. This is the CD command. It’s pretty basic. LS command, you can view everything. Now, the reason I only have this is because the main commands are included to all the main commands. You can navigate to directories. You can view directories and you can start programs. Those are the three things you need to do. Now the rest, this is what you guys come in. The rest is a project. Basically, what I want you guys to do is join the Master Jake online community at masterjakeonline.com, join this site, then go and join the forum. You can download this off the site. This is version 1.1 or 1.0. Now, I may release more versions in the future with different changes in them. Download the program. You can try that out for a bit then what I want you guys to do is make your own commands, upload them into the forum and let other people try them out. Now, please be sure to include, I mean each command is yours, you can make it however you want. I get those put it in, in your commands folder right here. And then run it from master jake custom command prompt. And basically, just make your own commands. Try to include all the switch like that help switch. You need to update the help.bat file and put it in there if you want, that’s up to you. And then include the help.bat as well. But when you make a command try to put in the /? so they can view information on the command. Now, I might release more commands too and they’ll be on the forum. So, you guys can go and check it out. And you know get active, make commands because this new website was new. I just released it like a couple of days ago. So, it’s—the forum has like 15 posts max, probably not even that many so I’m going to try to kick it off. Please be sure to thank TanelTM, he is the main reason this program even works. Without him, I could not have done this. So, definitely thank him, yeah. So, thanks for viewing the video. I’m going to go ahead and upload the program to the site and start the forum categories and all of that. And if you guys can go and check it out.
