For example, I want to open a PDF file in the browser from the command line (just because it's much faster and I need to open many files at once) and when I use the command start [file name]
from its directory it try to open it as a executable, so I need to open the browser and type the full path of the file as an attribute, is there a way to call the full path without typing it?
what I exactly need is I need the full path of a file to convert it to string (for example in the browser)
CodePudding user response:
Using tab completions may help. For example, if your target file is named thisPDFisTotallyBananas.pdf
and you have another file in the same folder named thisOtherPDFisNot.pdf
, you could type thisP
then TAB
to complete the file name in the command prompt without needing to type the whole filename.
