If I type this line in an MS-DOS command prompt window: ipy -X:ColorfulConsole IronPython

  • 0

If I type this line in an MS-DOS command prompt window:

ipy -X:ColorfulConsole 

IronPython starts up as expected with the colorful console option enabled. However, if I type the same line in Windows PowerShell I get the message:

File -X: does not exist 

Can someone explain what I’m doing wrong?

    Try this code:

    ipy '-X:ColorfulConsole' 

    Or whatever quoting mechanism is supported in Windows PowerShell – the shell is splitting your argument.

    Typing

    ipy -X: ColorfulConsole 

    in MS-DOS command prompt window returns the same response:

    File -X: does not exist.
