$$ |
Specifies the dollar-sign character ($). |
$1 through $9 |
Represent any command-line information you want to specify when you run the macro. The special characters $1 through $9 are batch parameters that enable you to use different data on the command line each time you run the macro. The $1 character in a doskey command is similar to the %1 character in a batch program. |
$* |
Represents all the command-line information that you want to specify when you type the macro name. The special character $* is a replaceable parameter that is similar to the batch parameters $1 through $9, with one important difference: everything you type on the command line after the macro name is substituted for the $* in the macro. |

$* |
To run a macro, type the macro name at the command prompt, starting at the first position. If the macro was defined with $* or any of the batch parameters $1 through $9, use a space to separate the parameters. You cannot run a doskey macro from a batch program. |

If you always use a particular command with specific command-line options, you can create a macro that has the same name as the command. To specify whether you want to run the macro or the command, follow these guidelines: |
To run the macro, type the macro name at the command prompt. Do not add a space before the macro name. |
To run the command, insert one or more spaces at the command prompt, and then type the command name. |
Examples |
The /macros and /history command-line options are useful for creating batch programs to save macros and commands. For example, to store all current doskey macros, type: |
doskey /macros > macinit |
To use the macros stored in Macinit, type: |
doskey /macrofile=macinit |
To create a batch program named Tmp.bat that contains recently used commands, type: |
doskey /history> tmp.bat |
To define a macro with multiple commands, use $t to separate commands, as follows: |
$t |
doskey tx=cd temp$tdir/w $* |
In the preceding example, the TX macro changes the current directory to Temp and then displays a directory listing in wide display format. You can use $* at the end of the macro to append other command-line options to dir when you run the tx option. |
$* |
The following macro uses a batch parameter for a new directory name: |
doskey mc=md $1$tcd $1 |
The macro creates a new directory and then changes to the new directory from the current directory. |
To use the preceding macro to create and change to a directory named Books, type: |
mc books |
To create a doskey macro for a program called Ftp.exe, include /exename as follows: |
doskey /exename=ftp.exe go=open 172.27.1.100$tmget *.TXT c:\reports$tbye |
To use the preceding macro, start FTP. At the FTP prompt, type: |
go |
FTP runs the open, mget, and bye commands. |
To create a macro that quickly and unconditionally formats a disk, type: |
doskey qf=format $1 /q /u |
To quickly and unconditionally format a disk in drive A, type: |
qf a: |
To delete a macro called vlist, type: |
doskey vlist = |
driverquery |
Enables an administrator to display a list of installed device drivers and their properties. If used without parameters, driverquery runs on the local computer. |
Syntax |
driverquery [/s <system> [/u [<domain>\]<username> [/p <password>]]] [/fo {table | list | csv}] [/nh] [/v | /si] |
Parameters |
Parameter |
Description |
/s <system> |
Specifies the name or IP address of a remote computer. Do not use backslashes. The default is the local computer. |
/u [<domain>]<username> |
Runs the command with the credentials of the user account as specified by user or domain\user. By default, /s uses the credentials of the user who is currently logged on to the computer that is issuing the command. /u can't be used unless /s is specified. |
