Windows Commands: Display the contents of a text file or files
TYPE-Windows Command
TYPE
Display the contents of a text file or files.
Syntax
TYPE [drive:]pathname(s)
If more than one file is specified the filenames are included
in the output.
If a wildcard is used the filenames are not displayed.
Output can be redirected into a new file:
TYPE file.txt > Newfile.txt
Output can be appended to an existing file:
TYPE file.txt >> ExistingFile.txt
To do the same with user console input :
TYPE CON > Newfile.txt
This will require a CTRL - Z to indicate end of file.
When using redirection to SORT a file the TYPE command is used implicitly
For example:
SORT < MyFile.txt
If you TYPE a Unicode text file, the output will be ANSI.
eg:
TYPE UnicodeFile.txt > ANSIFile.txt
To convert multiple Unicode files to ASCII try this script
@echo off
ren *.txt *.txx
for %%G in (*.txx) do (TYPE %%G >%%~nG.txt)
echo del *.txx
