edit (允许查看、创建或修改文件)

EDIT [/B] [/H] [/R] [/S] [/] [/?] [FileName...]

edit c:\autoexec.bat

Open the file c:\autoexec.bat to be edited, if it exists. If the file does not exist, a blank blue screen is shown.

Using "copy con"

If you are running an MS-DOS version 4.x or lower or you cannot find edit.com on your hard drive, you can also use the following command to create a file.

copy con FileName

Once you have entered the command above, a file with the name specified is created.

Once you have typed all the lines you want to be in the file, press and hold Ctrl+Z. Once you see "^Z" on the screen, press Enter and one file should be copied.

Using edit to create a new file

Using edit, you can also create a new file. For example, if you wanted to create a file called myfile.txt, you would type the command below.

edit myfile.txt

This command would bring up a blank edit screen. Type your text and save the file, and myfile.txt will be created with the text you entered.

• Edit is only able to open a file with a maximum of 65,280 lines.
• If your mouse drivers are not loaded while in MS-DOS or the Windows command line, you may have no mouse support. It is still possible to navigate the Editor using shortcut keys as seen in the below list.
• Pressing Alt allows you to quickly navigate through edit without having to memorize all the commands listed below.
