Here's an easy one .....

How do I redirect standard output from a .BAT file ?

If I have a one line file TEST.BAT which looks like this -
@echo Hello World

and I type ...

TEST > TEST.OUT

... at the C> prompt I get "Hello World" on the screen and a 0 
length file, TEST.OUT

Is this correct behaviour under DOS 5 ?
Am I going mad ?
Should I switch to UNIX ? (OK, I know the answer to that one !)

Julian.

For what it's worth, this works as you expect it to under 4DOS - no
echo to the screen and output send to test.out.

Get a copy of Ziff-Davis' BAT2EXEC.COM and use it to compile your batch file
into an executable.

Then you can run the compiled batch file and redirect any standard output just
as you would any other executable.
