HEELPBOOK - RESIZE COMMAND PROMPT (CMD.EXE) WINDOW THROUGH COMMAND "MODE" (Microsoft Windows) ########################

###### SCENARIO

I want to resize the command prompt window in a batch file, is it possible to set a height and width through something I can just add in the batch file?


###### SOLUTION


mode con:cols=[whatever you want] lines=[whatever you want]


The unit is the number of characters that fit in the command prompt, for example:


mode con:cols=80 lines=100


...will make the command prompt 80 ASCII chars of width and 100 of height.
