Batch output question

I currently have a batch file which I run to output URLS into a text file seperated by the date as you can see below. Everytime I run the batch file to add new info into the output file it adds it to the bottom of the page. Which command will add it to the top of the page so i'm not having to scroll all the way to the bottom for the latest information?
Thanks

There isn't a command, but something like this would work...
Code: Select all
@echo off
... Run your commands as normal from your script >> NewOutputFile.txt
For /F "tokens=* delims=" %%a IN (OldOutputFile.txt) DO echo %%a >> NewOutputFile.txt
DEL /Q OldOutputFile.txt
REN NewOutputFile.txt OldOutputFile.Txt
All your new stuff goes to the top of NewOutput file then all the stuff from OldOutputFile goes in after it.

If all we are doing is adding something to the top, all we have to do is
Code: Select all
@echo off
echo newinformation > tmp.txt
type original.txt >> tmp.txt
echo y|move "tmp.txt", "original.txt"
