see, I translated first sentence for free (I didn't state that, I included it, and said "here, I translated this to prove that I'm not a bot", never explicitly or non-explicitly passed on the rights).
That's the standard tenkeyless Num Lock key layout found on many PCs.
Turn off Num Lock - on my Lenovo, it's Fn + F10, but the combination may vary by manufacturer.
Asking here to avoid a "too broad" question: Need creative way to create a text file from a Windows Command Prompt. I'm remotely connected to a machine via a "web-based" command prompt that...doesn't work right. I've tried copy con myfile.txt and echo sometext>myfile.txt and neither work? Ideas?
I'm not trying to delete the file...just get a few lines of text into a text file (so I can use that as input to FTP...cuz I can't even run FTP in interactive mode due to this stupid issue).
How to create an empty file at the DOS/Windows command-line?
I tried:
copy nul > file.txt
but it always displays that a file was copied.
Is there any other method in the standard cmd?
It should be a method that does not require the touch command from Cygwin or any other nonstandard commands...
Wow, a lot of great ideas...but all of the ones that could actually result in text getting into the file I've tried
@OtherCat I have administrative control of this PC...if I initiate a live remote control session to it. I'm trying to retrieve the result of a POWERCFG /energyreport I generated without bothering the end-user.
@djsmiley2k I'm not moving the mouse. I'm not sure how this remote prompt is implemented. It's through a webpage, so I'm guessing is not "native" in some way.
@OtherCat The buffer isn't long enough to hold it...and I'm not interested in doing type file.HTML | more and then removing --more-- from every 81st line.
Guess I'll ask the end-user to email the file to me...rats
> Ok, I get it, it's amazing, but aren't you guys even a little scared at the power Google has here? All that data, all those faces linked to people names, all the places you've been to. Seeing all these comments praising it and emotions tied to it makes me feel like I'm in a dystopian future novel.
@DragonLord that's basically how I feel. it's unfortunate that Google has painted an enormous target on their backs saying "HACK ME" now that they have so much data collected on people... everyone who has a reason to want lots of personal data, browsing habits, search terms, etc. is gonna go out of their way to get to that data.
