Basic text editor in command prompt? [closed]

I know for linux and Unix machines there is emacs and vi text editor and gcc is built in to compile c code? what would be the Windows text editor in cmd and are there any compilers built in?

I made a simple VIM clone from batch to satisfy your needs.

@echo off
title WinVim
color a
cls
echo WinVim 1.02
echo.
echo To save press CTRL+Z then press enter
echo.
echo Make sure to include extension in file name
set /p name=File Name:
copy con %name%
if exist %name% copy %name% + con

Hope this helps :)

There is also a port of nano for windows, which is more more akin to notepad.exe than vim is

Get the WINNT zip. Tested in Windows 7 works as expected

I want to add that it is very strange to introduce Core and Nano servers without native console full-featured editor. Like others I`ll recommend to use vim or nano. But my suggestion is to install it via OneGet (require WMF5)! They both are presented in Chocolatey repository so installation is simple and fast:

PS C:> Find-Package -Name vim | Format-Table -AutoSize
Name Version Status    ProviderName Source     Summary
---- ------- ------    ------------ ------     -------
vim  7.4.638 Available Chocolatey   chocolatey Vim is an advanced text editor...

PS C:> Install-Package vim
