How can I run a command using batch and save the output in a text file?

Ravindra Sinare

I am running some commands and getting the output. Now I want to make it automatic. I have created the .bat file but cannot save the output.

How can I save the output after successfully running a command in a batch file.

Two options:

  1. Redirect (">") commands directly in the .bat file when calling them

example:

echo %DATE% %TIME% > mylog.txt
cmd1 >> mylog.txt
cmd2 >> mylog.txt
...
  1. Create a second .bat file to call the first file and redirect everything in the first file:

example

call mybatfile.bat > mylog.txt

  1. Side note:

    One. The "text output" actually consists of two separate "streams": stdout (normal text) and stderr (error text). If you want to redirect both to the same log file, you can use the following syntax:

    call mybatfile.bat > mylog.txt 2>&1

    b. ">"Erase previous content before writing. ">>"Append the new output to the previous contents of the file.
