How To Use the Windows Command Line (124526)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows

This article was previously published under Q124526

SUMMARY

The Windows Command Line allows Windows programs to make calls from macros to SourceSafe. All output, however, will be generated in Windows' output windows, instead of MS-DOS sessions.

SSWCL.EXE is the Windows Command Line executable. Use it as you use SS.EXE on the other SourceSafe platforms. For example:

SSWCL create $/myproject

NOTE: It cannot be executed from a MS-DOS session.

Refer to the Microsoft Command Line Reference more information on SourceSafe command and command line syntax.
