Batch File Help

#1 Post by NZIdiot » 15 Apr 2009 17:40

I am currently writing a batch script file. I need the '>' character to appear but not get used. When i add this

ECHO >

The screen shuts down my guess because its using the > character where as i just want it to appear. How do i get this to appear without activating?

Thanks
