I want to control how commands are listed in Hcmd; rather then a long list, to break it up ?

 

Also the first link doesn't display the option with the VCC command ?

[Arthur Spooner]

Let me rephrase the first question; as I see it didn't make sense, sorry.      

 

Typical Windows commands as used in Windows Shell aka DOS don't work in Hcmd, what commands do I have at my disposal when working with Hcmd, if any, equal to Windows Shell (DOS) ?

 

I can't find any of the VCC commands in this link; http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini15.0/ref/utils/ ?

 

Any tried printing the entire page, suppose this page; http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini15.0/vex/snippets#arrays? I can only print what is retained within the page and I can't find a way with Chrome or my printer settings to print the entire page ?

I thought it's classical windows shell with houdini commands included, haven't used it much in Windows

I guess for more houdini specific commands you can look into your $HFS/bin folder, where you can see you can use vcc, hkey, and many others that are not listed in that link

$HFS/bin

 

I don't have a folder within bin called $HFS ? I too was hoping that the houdini commands included would behave identical to the classical windows shell, for example "/w" flag so commands don't get cut off when commands are listed, doesn't work identical to the classical windows command.

well I guess on windows it would be something like %HFS% I guess

it's just a path wherever your current houdini is installed

[Arthur Spooner]

There is no %NFS% folder or path on my system; and I checked almost every folder manually on the system related to Houdini.

[holycause]

$HFS is you houdini install dir

 

if your use it from you houdini command shell, it should be set.

I don't have my laptop at work to double check it

I don't have a $HFS directory within my Houdini installation; I'll wait if you want to verify at work.

you dont have a folder called HFS.

$HFS points to your install folder

ie in windows it will most likely be something like that: C:\program files\sidefx\houdini15.xxx

[holycause]

open a textport in houdini and type

echo $HFS

It will return your houdini dir folder path

[Arthur Spooner]

There is no HFS folder in my Houdini install directory path in Windows.

[Arthur Spooner]

If anyone can verify this for me on Windows ?

[Arthur Spooner]

Found what I wanted.
