I need to make a script that can write one line of text to a text file in the same directory as the batch file.
You can use echo
, and redirect the output to a text file (see notes below):
rem Saved in D:\Temp\WriteText.bat
@echo off
echo This is a test> test.txt
echo 123>> test.txt
echo 245.67>> test.txt
Output:
D:\Temp>WriteText D:\Temp>type test.txt This is a test 123 245.67 D:\Temp>
Notes:
@echo off
turns off printing of each command to the console>
or >>
will write to the current directory (the directory the code is being run in).echo This is a test > test.txt
uses one >
to overwrite any file that already exists with new content.echo
statements use two >>
characters to append to the text file (add to), instead of overwriting it.type test.txt
simply types the file output to the command window.
