You can use any one of the methods to open the command prompt both will work. Once you have opened it will look something like this. You can see the diagram below this is the folder tree on which I will work in this tutorial.
And whatever I will teach you, same I will apply to this folder tree. Type cd in the command prompt, it will list the present working directory of your computer. It means in which directory you are currently working. It is very important to know because after getting this information you will be able to decide in which directory you want to go. Once you have checked in which folder or directory you are. You can also get the list of folders inside the folder.
You see in the figures I have a total of 19 directories in the Desktop directory and also test1 and test2 are also present.
In my case I want to go into the test1 folder then I will simply type cd test1 and press enter. After doing all the above steps as you know I am currently in the test1 folder and I again want to go back in the Desktop directory the how can I achieve this?
There is a very special concept of an absolute pathname and relative pathname,.. At this time I want to open the test2 folder, then I will simply type start. Since I am in the test2 folder, therefore, my current directory is test2 and it will open it.
Suppose I want to make a folder demo in the test2 folder, if you are reading this article from start then you know I am currently in the test2 folder. Some of them are files, like HelloWorld. Others are directories, like introcs. The following command creates a directory named hello , which you can use to to store all of your files associated with the Hello World assignment. To access the two files, change directories with the cd command. Then use the dir command to see what is in this new directory.
Simply specify a new filename instead of a directory name. Suppose you accidentally messed up the upper and lower case and had saved HelloWorld.
Use two move commands to fix it. The following command creates a backup copy of our HelloWorld. This is especially useful when you modify a working program, but might want to revert back to the original version if your modifications don't succeed. The del command deletes a file. When you submit your program be careful to submit HelloWorld. As mentioned earlier, you can check this by looking at the folder that appears to the left of your current command. To change your current location, use cd short for change directory followed by the folder you want to visit.
So for example, to move to your Desktop folder from your default user folder, you would type cd Desktop. And to move up one folder, use the cd.. Use mkdir [new folder name] make directory to create a new folder. For instance, mkdir Awesome Pics will make a folder called Awesome Pics. Similarly, rmdir [folder name] remove directory will delete a folder, but only if it's empty.
To delete a file, use del [file name]. If there's too much clutter on the Command Prompt's screen, type cls to clear the contents and start fresh. Some of the most useful Command Prompt commands deal with networking. Commands like ping let you see if your computer can reach a remote destination and how long it takes.
Meanwhile, ipconfig lets you see the network overview for your current connection. Learning about CMD commands for managing networks is thus a great use of the tool. Now you're familiar with the basics of the Command Prompt, even if you've never used it before. Some tasks, like managing files and folders, will probably feel clunky in the command line if you're used to doing these with the GUI. But for other tasks, like checking your IP address, running a quick CMD command is much more convenient than clicking through a bunch of menus.
