}- Can any DOS pros please help me regarding some DOS commands.
}- I'd like to create a .BAT file that will issue a DIR command
}- for a directory so that it ECHOs to and appends to the same
}- daily diary file and each day I run the .BAT it will append
}- .......
}- For example...
}- Day X:
}- ABC.txt 5:40pm
}- .......
}- The problem is that my syntax is not correct DOS and I'm not
}- sure if DOS supports what I want to do:
}- APPEND ECHO DIR C:\WORK\*.XYZ C:\WORK\TIME.TXT
}- I know that's not correct and DOS knows it too.
}- Is there a way to do this in DOS?
Very simple. To do this, simply type the following at the prompt
or write it into your batch file. It's simple redirection.
dir c:\work\*.xyz >>c:\work\time.txt
Glad to help,
Boanne
