As far as I know the "edit" command is still included with Windows. A generic Google search is here.

Apparently you can also pipe on the command line, again generic Google search here.

But don't forget Google is your friend(tm) and remember what blackwave would do.

Edit: This is also an inappropriate forum for your thread.

I open cmd and i type cat textfile.txt

Question: `cat' isn't a standard Windows command - its equivalent is `type'. Are you sure you're not trying to make *nix shell commands work in Windows?

(Also: moved to correct forum.)

Bah, misread the question. Nothing to see here, folks, move along!
