i have typed this in cmd: echo echo hello >> hello.txt >> hello.bat
so the batchfile script on hello.bat is this: echo hello >> hello.txt
and when you starting hello.bat it will make hello.txt
in hello.txt: hello

but....
when i typing echo echo hello >> hello.txt >> hello.bat today the hallo.bat has a script like this:
echo hello.
where is >> hello.txt ?
what is wrong??

hi dani8190,

try it with escape characters


without the escape character cmd.exe find the first >> hello.txt and suppose to pipe into that file
but then cmd.exe found >> hello.bat, and it decides not to pipe to hello.txt, but to hello.bat
