    Command line questions
    « on: November 13, 2018, 01:38:19 AM »
    Hi!

    I want to ask some command line Qs, so I posted theem together:

    1.
    How to select cmd window size by command?
    In lines and columns or maybe in pixels.
    Also - is possible to zoom cmd window size?
    I know that insider builds are featuring this option, I'm asking for alternative.
    I know that it is possible to enlarge font and then it is bit so.
    Or Q: Will be zoom included in October Update Re-Release? (some webs referring that it has to be released today - here's GMT+1 November 13)

    2.
    How to open new cmd window from cmd window by command?
    When I try to enter cmd, it outputs version info.

    3.
    I have Q to recursive copy of folder - so folder with subfolders.
    When I type e.g.:
    copy G:\Tools\*.* D:\
    it copies only Tools folder files.
    How to copy also subfolders?
    If is it not possible, exist and tool to use or create any batch or script?

    Thank you for each help.

    1. Mode command. Help is mode /? e.g. MODE CON: COLS=128 LINES=60
    Zoom: don't know yet.

    2. start "cmd"
    run command:
    start cmd /k command

    3. xcopy /?

      Console zoom is included in the recent Insider Build 18272. You hold down CTRL key and roll the mouse wheel. It will not be in regular Windows 10 until the next release, codenamed 19H1 and expected in April 2019.
