BatchLine plugin for Take Command / TCC / TCC/LE

beta version 0.91.0     2023-10-13

Charles Dye

Purpose:

This plugin creates a popup window which shows the current line number in the batch file being executed. When no batch file is running, the popup window is empty.

Installation:

To use this plugin, copy BatchLine.dll to some known location on your hard drive. (If you are still using the 32-bit version of Take Command, take BatchLine-x86.dll instead of BatchLine.dll.) Load the .DLL file with a PLUGIN /L command, for example:

plugin /l c:\bin\tcmd\test\BatchLine.dll

If you copy this file to a subdirectory named PlugIns within your Take Command program directory, the plugin will be loaded automatically when TCC starts.

Startup Message:

This plugin displays an informational line when it initializes. The message will be suppressed in transient or pipe shells. You can disable it for all shells by defining an environment variable named NOLOADMSG, for example:

set /e /u noloadmsg=1

Status and Licensing:

Consider this beta software. It may well have issues. Try it at your own risk. If you find a problem, you can report it in the JP Software support forum.

BatchLine is currently licensed only for testing purposes. I may make binaries and source code available under some free license once I consider it ready for use.
