Question

How can I print the content of a textfile on the command prompt in Windows?

In Linux I can do this with less textfile.txt, more textfile.txt or cat textfile.txt

What is the command for this in Windows?

type textfile.txt If you want it page-by-page, more textfile.txt.

Or just more textfile.txt ... avoids a useless use of type – Joey Jul 13 '10 at 1:06
