There's batch script available at ( CreateDosCommandIndex.bat) which generates an html file containing the complete list of available dos commands on the system, along with their respective output generated through 'commandname /?' It also allows for string manipulation through the above mentioned 'tilde notation' Is pretty simple and supports the following operations, in decreasing Is a numerical expression that is evaluated. The /A switch specifies that the string to the right of the equal sign SET allows you to perform a wide variety of operations on variables. You'll need this page because it lists the comparison operators: If Command Extensions are enabled IF changes as follows: %~ftzaI - expands %I to a DIR like output line %~dp$PATH:I - searches the directories listed in the PATHĮnvironment variable for %I and expands to theĭrive letter and path of the first one found.

%~fsI - expands %I to a full path name with short names only %~nxI - expands %I to a file name and extension only %~dpI - expands %I to a drive letter and path only The modifiers can be combined to get compound results: Search, then this modifier expands to the %~$PATH:I - searches the directories listed in the PATHĮnvironment variable and expands %I to theįully qualified name of the first one found. %~aI - expands %I to file attributes of file %~sI - expanded path contains short names only %~xI - expands %I to a file extension only %~fI - expands %I to a fully qualified path name %~I - expands %I removing any surrounding quotes (') You can now use the following optional syntax: This documentation also contains the explanation for the crazy 'tilde notation': In addition, substitution of FOR variable references has been enhanced This is the go-to utility if you want to write anything related to loops. The documentation for the FOR command lists all the crazy parameters you can pass to FOR. Let's take a closer look at some built-ins: FOR /? Though, at that point the help is referencing command extensions, so the list may be incomplete.

START (also includes changes to external command invocation) I don't have a complete list of the built-ins, but you can see most of them by running cmd.exe /?: DEL or ERASE

exe files on your PATH are the cmd.exe built-ins.

As you can already expect, it's not as useful as one might imagine. This gives you a list of all available commands and their parameters. REM ECHO Skipping non-existent folder '%%A' So that eats up a lot of resources rather quickly. Some will simply start and remain running, instead of printing any help. Not every application on the PATH understands that parameter. In a previous iteration of the script, I started every command with /?, which is a very bad idea.

By default, it only lists those that also reside in %WINDIR% (unless you run it with -all). exe files that you can execute (because they're located on your PATH). To answer your question directly, I devised a script that simply lists all. You can find an official list at Microsoft Command-line reference A-Z.
