Change the amount of lines CMD.exe can show

Hello,
I found out that cmd.exe can support no more than 9999 lines and this property can be changed on right click, layout.

An application that I use opens the cmd.exe and shows an output. This output is long about 100.000 lines. So I can see almost nothing.

Is there a way to increase the amount of lines that cmd.exe can support? Or maybe use another cmd?

Please help?

The fact is that I am not using a command. It is an application that is running another application.

I am talking about aircrack-ng. I cannot change the commands or add paramenters... :(

The whole aircrack-ng stuff is unsupported (in an absolute and exclusive way) when used with Windows. No wonder the tools are not working together that smooth under Windows.

as I understand and know aircrack is unsupported....

is CMD supported? If I want it to show more lines, is there a way? Maybe editing some parameter in the registry?

maybe a way to make by default that everything that is running cmd.exe will be sent to a .txt file?
Neither of that options are available. You could try to trick the calling program into using a batch file with the name of the exe, if it is not calling those tools with full name, of course. E.g. if the GUI calls a bruteforce.exe, create a bruteforce.cmd redirecting the output via pipe into MORE, or into a file.

That answer was already in the message that I posted, so it is nothing new: "I found out that cmd.exe can support no more than 9999 lines and this property can be changed on right click, layout."
Even committing a "No" is worth points. You explicitely asked if it is possible to increase, and the answer on that part was No. The answer to "can I use anothter cmd", is also No.

well... logically speaking yes, you are right. I had to ask better.

Moderators, please split the points in the best way you think.
