Syntax : Redirection

command  >  filename    Redirect command output into a file

command  >> filename    Redirect command output and APPEND into a file

command  <  filename    Redirect a file into a command

command  |  command     Pipe the output from one command into another command

command  &  command     Perform the first command & then perform the second command.

command  2> filename    Redirect any error message into a file

command  2> nul         Redirect any error message to NUL

command  > filename 2> filename   Redirect output and errors to separate files

command  > filename 2>&1          Redirect output and errors to one file

Note, any long filenames must be surrounded in "double quotes".

Redirection with > or 2> will overwrite any existing file.

You can also redirect to a printer with > PRN or >LPT1

To prevent '>' from causing redirection use an escape character '^>'

some examples of redirection:

   DIR >MyFileListing.txt
   
   DIR /o:n >"Another list of Files.txt"
   
   MEM /C >>MemoryUseLog.txt

   Date /T >>MemoryUseLog.txt

   SORT < MyTextFile.txt

   SET v_output=%v_missing% 2>nul

   DIR C:\ >List_of_C.txt 2>errorlog.txt
   
   FIND /i "Jones" < names.txt >logfile.txt

   DIR C:\ >List_of_C.txt & DIR D:\ >List_of_D.txt

   ECHO DIR C:\ ^> c:\logfile.txt >NewScript.cmd
