CMD Tutorials For Beginners (Part-1) How To Create Folder By CMD

How To Edit files Using Cmd

1st method:

1] Firstly,I have to change directory to desktop.So type

cd desktop

Now, I am on desktop. I want to edit files of “Newfolder” It’s is a folder name that I created previous post. If you want to see this post click here.

2] So,If I want to edit files in “Newfolder” I have to switch directory from desktop to

newfolder Type this,

cd newfolder

Yeah, I am now newfolder.

3] I want to edit partho.txt file that is in this folder.

So, type

edit partho.txt 

Then , a blue window will be appeared.

4]  Yeah, I can edit text now.Suppose I write

I love all lovers.

After that I have to save. Go to File tab and click Save

Now , You can test it that it got saved or not by going to partho.txt file.

5] If I want to save this file as another file extension ,suppose I want to save this file as csv format

Just go to “File” tab and  “Save As” I want to this file save as Partho1.csv

Then we see a  Partho1.csv file is created.

We can back to original cmd window by clicking exit window.

6] now, if i want to create new text by typing  new text just type

edit 

Again, blue screen will be appeared.

7] Then ,type just like as your wish. I wrote here ” I want to be a Don in the tech world”

Then click “save as” button and give your file name and then type dot(.) and click “ok”

suppose I save as this file don.txt

and click ok then  don.txt file created in “newfolder”

I can create directly on C drive. To do that,I have to switch directory from newfolder to C directory.

I have to type code that I showed you i my previous post. To see this click here.

I have to show this again because I want show you another simple tricks.

Following previous post I have to type cd.. code to switch back to another directory from current  directory. Such as, I want to go “Jon “directory from newfolder. I have to type cd.. ,then I return previous directory Desktop . 

Then , I have to again type this code again cd..  Finally I am able  to go Jon directory.

This thing, we can do easily from newfolder to Desktop just type

cd../..

Not only that if we want to switch back directory from “newfolder “to “C” directory,we have to type this code

cd../../../.. 

Here, you see , there have 4 steps  between c directory and newfolder that you have to jump over

so that you have to type double dot (..)4 times.

I think it is clear. ok.

Now, if you want to  create a file in C directory .you have to make a new directory in C drive. Then edit files again.

2nd method:
