Bat failed to work in Powershell or CMD properly

Perhaps, Windows should seek for bat.exe instead of bat, which cannot be found by cmd or pwsh, but bash recognized that.

from the output of your which bat performed in PowerShell, that would indicate that it can find it the executable without you needing to specify the .exe extension. I wonder whether the problem is somehow related to the pager. Does it work in PowerShell with bat a.html --paging=never?

Yes, that works!

So is it an issue with less.exe on my device, which in fact comes from BusyBox for windows? When I use the less 643, everything is just normal.

If there is nothing wrong, may the issue just be closed? I have confirmed that it is an issue with Busybox-w32 or the less.exe going with it, but not an issue with Bat.

Nice, happy to hear you got it sorted 👍
Yes, it can just be closed. Or we can see if it makes sense to mention it somewhere in the documentation in case it will help others with the same problem in future 🙂
