Batch file help

[DarkRanger]

Hi guys,

I want to write a batch file to add text into a text file.

I do not have the slightest idea on how to start with a batch file. This is not homework, this is a little side project I am doing.

I know the patch to the text file, and I know the lines that I need to add to it. I want to use this program, to add these lines to all our work PC's.

Thanks!!

Code: Select all

echo my test sentence > target.txt  //will create a new file with echo's contents
echo my test sentence >> target.txt  //will append a new line with echo's contents

generally my first stop when contemplating going this route...

I do not have the slightest idea on how to start with a batch file.

Open Notepad.

Then paste what Rustypup posted.

Code: Select all

echo my test sentence > target.txt  //will create a new file with echo's contents
echo my test sentence >> target.txt  //will append a new line with echo's contents

Then save it with extention .Bat (E.G Run.bat)
