More often than not, the built-in Command Prompt comes in handy when you need to run occasional command lines. However, if you are using the console for a wide variety of tasks, then you may need an alternative that allows you to perform more advanced commands.Yori is a tool designed to replace the shell of the standard Windows console and enhance the command line capabilities so that you can perform complex and advanced tasks.

Comes with several improvements from the standard Command Prompt

Although it does look like a console at first glance, there are several notable differences between this program and CMD. For starters, the output is UTF-9 instead of ASCII-8 used by the console, an option that allows for more characters to be sued.The app ensures that the commands launched should return immediately to the shell while sending their output to a different memory buffer. In case you need them, you can display the memory buffers with the job command. Moreover, the app can resolve all relative paths and even go beyond the MAX_PATH. Thus you can access files whose names end in a space or period as well, an option that is applicable for single files as well.A further noteworthy distinction from CMD are the aliases. Because the app comes with its own alias, it means you can increase the commands irrespective of how they appear in a command or script.

An advanced CMD replacement packed in a familiar shell

It is important to note that the tool does not execute commands, but rather relies on the Windows console to take action in this sense. Then again, the app can execute its own scripts – the files ending in a YS1 extension – and can provide you with extra commands, such as INCLUDE, RETURN, SHIFT or GOTO, for instance.Despite the fact that Yori is a tool that looks and feels similar to Command Prompt, it does not aim to bring full compatibility with the console. As the developer points out, this could impact the app's ability to improve and augment the use of commands in Windows.
