I can understand cmd but not cmd /c. I was trying to invoke a java program from the current for which I use Runtime.getRuntime.exec('cmd /C java helloworld'); There arises my doubt. Cmd c is a clipboard manager designed to meet the needs of code developers: it will preserve the text formatting, allows you to navigate its history using the keyboard, and even keeps windows in memory for 5 minutes. Open command prompt. Go to Windows search and type cmd. Right-click on the command prompt. How to Compile C Program in Command Prompt? STEP 1: Run the command ‘gcc -v’ to check if you have a compiler installed. If not you need to download a gcc compiler and install it. You can search for cmd in your windows system to open the command prompt. STEP 2: Create a c program and store it in your system.
Selects and runs a command on a file or set of files. This command is most commonly used in batch files.
Syntax
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
/P <pathname> | Specifies the path from which to start the search. By default, searching starts in the current working directory. |
/M <searchmask> | Searches files according to the specified search mask. The default searchmask is * . |
/S | Instructs the forfiles command to search in subdirectories recursively. |
/C <command> | Runs the specified command on each file. Command strings should be wrapped in double quotes. The default command is 'cmd /c echo @file' . |
/D [{+|-}][{<date> | <days>}] | Selects files with a last modified date within the specified time frame:
|
/? | Displays the help text in the cmd window. |
Remarks
The
forfiles /S
command is similar todir /S
.You can use the following variables in the command string as specified by the /C command-line option:
Variable Description @FILE File name. @FNAME File name without extension. @EXT File name extension. @PATH Full path of the file. @RELPATH Relative path of the file. @ISDIR Evaluates to TRUE if a file type is a directory. Otherwise, this variable evaluates to FALSE. @FSIZE File size, in bytes. @FDATE Last modified date stamp on the file. @FTIME Last modified time stamp on the file. The forfiles command lets you run a command on or pass arguments to multiple files. For example, you could run the type command on all files in a tree with the .txt file name extension. Or you could execute every batch file (*.bat) on drive C, with the file name Myinput.txt as the first argument.
This command can:
Select files by an absolute date or a relative date by using the /d parameter.
Build an archive tree of files by using variables such as @FSIZE and @FDATE.
Differentiate files from directories by using the @ISDIR variable.
Include special characters in the command line by using the hexadecimal code for the character, in 0xHH format (for example, 0x09 for a tab).
This command works by implementing the
recurse subdirectories
flag on tools that are designed to process only a single file.
Examples

To list all of the directories on drive C, type:
To list all of the files in the current directory that are at least one year old, type:

To list the file name extensions of all the files in the current directory in column format, and add a tab before the extension, type:
