Question

slow down speed cmd display

Hello when I enter some commands the display of the results of this one is sometimes rather long and therefore scrolls on the screen with great speed, and I wanted to know if it was possible rather than waiting for the end of the program and go back to read the results little by little it would be possible to slow down the speed at which the results are displayed.

Answer 1

I was wondering about this with the tree C:\ command but I think it could be interesting for other commands. The tree /p command does not work unfortunately.

Answer 2

Hi Liam,

While you cannot slow down that tree command, you can print it to a text file, which you can then view when the command completes.

For example this command will create a txt file named TreeResult on your C drive.

tree C:\ /a /f > C:\TreeResult.txt

What command(s) are you running in Command Prompt?

It depends on the command(s) you are running, with some commands if you add a space and /p to the command, that will page the output so you will see a screen of the output, then press enter and you will see the next screen... and so on.
