如何在批处理脚本中将命令的输出打印到文件？

Question

I am trying to call a command in batch file using "call" method and whatever is the output of that command, I want to write in a file. I went through from this link but cannot find the answer.

I am using this command

call %confPath% GetIniString %datFile% Keyname name >%newFile% >&1

but it creates a empty file always. How can i write the output of above command in the file?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

>%newFile% redirects the standard output to a file. in >&1 , the 1 stands for standard output, and if no stream is specified, standard output is the default, so >&1 redirects on itself, although it was already redirected with the first command. So, this is illegal and shouldn't produce a file at all. In my tests, this just aborts with an errormessage.

The usual idiom 2>&1 , OTOH, redirects stream 2, which is standard ERROR, to standard output, which ensures that both output and error messages end up in the file.
