[Solved] command.com with a scrollbar

[StillOn98]

Hello,

I’m looking for how to add a scrollbar to the program “command.com” (or similar program with a scrollbar)

I need this feature to view errors messages generated on the execution of my java code, I tried to make a redirection of stdout to a file but it doesn't work.

Maybe this will display the data one screen at a time?

your command | more

Thank you for replying, but it doesn't work.

I found this programme, but it’s a shareware

I tried to make a redirection of stdin to a file but it doesn’t work.

I suppose you mean stdout. Did you try '| more'?

Well, if the program has been written "properly" it will output errors to STD_ERR, rather than STD_OUT.

But it won't work ot DOS/Win9.x , so you need something else :

Java may be writing to the console via BIOS INT 10H...

Even DOS text services were implemented this way.

What you need is a program that traps all input sent to INT 10H and redirects it to a file.

Then, whatever is written to the console will end up in the file.

Unless Java writes directly to the video regen buffer... But I doubt it'd be implemented this way.

HTH.

But, i don’t think that i’m able to code this in asm.

Did you try stderr from the given link and it did not work for you?

Look out for it. I bet someone already did it in the good old DOS times. Patience and Google together perform marvelous things...

So did you find this? Really lame, since program for this was in thread you originally asked.

And it is what this program in the screenshot ?

I have tested with the thread which you gived but I didn’t have this result !

Can you give the link to download it ?

A resizer for the console. Translation: a scrollbar for the command prompt window in Win9x.

Output from Java programs can't be redirected in 9x, something about the way System.out works.

However, rather than trying to hack command, just something like this in any class loaded in your program's startup:

static {
	try{
		System.setOut(new java.io.PrintStream("out.txt"));
		System.setErr(new java.io.PrintStream("err.txt"));
	} catch(Exception e) {}
}

Alternately, you can create a small OutputStream or PrintStream subclass that outputs to a list in a swing window or similar(if you need the results in real time). Maybe even one that adds a timestamp to every line. It will be infinitely more effective than getting a different console window either way.

[StillOn98]

System.setErr(new java.io.PrintStream("err.txt"));

Think you very match SlugFiller for the solution
