Simply click on this 7z file to download all Windows source files (bat scripts):https://github.com/fastrgv/Wnexd/releases/download/v1.0.0/nexd.7z

Tiny adjunct to the Windows-intrinsic pushd/popd utilities for users of the Command Prompt terminal window that simulates a linux-style "pushd +1", and "dirs".

• Allows round-robin traversal of directories in the "pushd" stack
• Runs on Windows 10
• Lightweight & simple
• Adds 3 new commands that work with the Windows-intrinsic pushd, popd:
  • nexd moves to the Next directory in queue [like 'pushd +1']
  • pred moves to the Previous directory in queue [like 'pushd -1']
  • dirs displays contents of the directory queue [like 'dirs']

Either copy the ./wnexd/ directory, or download the latest release (7Z file) and unzip it, in your %HOMEPATH% directory.

Executing "ndprep.bat" file will make the new commands available. It uses "doskey" to add three commands: nexd, pred, dirs:

• doskey nexd=%HOMEPATH%\wnexd\nexd.bat
• doskey pred=%HOMEPATH%\wnexd\pred.bat
• doskey dirs=%HOMEPATH%\wnexd\dirs.bat $1

• dirs : displays stack
• dirs -c : clears the stack
• nexd : moves to the next directory in the stack [without popping it]; similar in function to linux "pushd +1";
• pred : moves to the previous directory in the stack [without popping it]; similar in function to linux "pushd -1";

• It can preclude the need to open multiple Command Prompt windows when working with several related directories.
• It is a simple way to enable additional pushd functionality. And, except for the quirky syntax of BAT scripts, the logic is reasonably transparent.
• It cooperates with the intrinsic pushd/popd Windows commands with no change totheir functionality.
