Advanced Batch

Step 10 >> Parameter (2/2)

Well I'm glad you asked. That's what the >> Parameter is for!

The >> is just like the >, but instead of completely overwriting the specified file, we Add to it!

So let's try it.

DIR>>DIRContents.txt

Neat! Worked Perfectly! So wait. Does that mean that I can write anything I want into a text file? I want to try it!

Batch Is Awesome>Awesome.txt

What? Why didn't that work? It's because the parameter only writes the output of Legitimate Commands, not just anything you type in. But, this is a problem that is simply solved. Remember, the parameters record the Output of Commands. What command has an output that we can control?

Right! The ECHO Command!

ECHO Batch Is Awesome>Awesome.txtECHO I'm so glad that I know it.>>Awesome.txt

Yay! Remember. The >> adds the Output to the very next line of the file.

Hahaha, Ill send this to my friend with a shutdown thing that first  makes about 10 files called I found a way into your computer, pop up in his directory then deletes this batch file (so he'll never know what happened) then shuts down his computer. ^^ I just realised something, I can use this for anything, so If I wanted I could make another batch file with a batch file! I could just add .CMD or .BAT (use CMD its 32 bit not 16 bit) and type my entire batch file in a batch file!
