Type

The TYPE command is used to display the contents of an ASCII text file on screen.

Syntax:

TYPE filename

Notes:

To display text files one screen at a time, pipe the output from a TYPE command to MORE.

To modify a text file, search for a particular word, or move from one page to another and back, use Notepad in Windows95 or Edit in Dos.

TYPE has little practical use except, perhaps, as a feed for redirection.

Examples:

To display the contents of HOLIDAY.MAR:
TYPE holiday.mar

If the file is too long to fit on a single screen:
TYPE holiday.mar | MORE
