Batch Log File

[Colin McDonald]

Does anyone know of a way to capture all the echo'd commands etc that are reported on screen during the running of a batch file.

I would like to keep a log of each step of what one of my files is doing each time it is run

Thanks

In Win9x and earlier, you had a command 'Mode.com'.

mode con: c:\logfiles\logfile.txt
(batch file)
mode con: con:

You can either manually rename each log file or attach a code to name them different things so they don't overwrite each other.

I don't know if NT/XP offers 'Mode' support.

Just tried that, and it doesn't seem to work

I used

mode con: d:\admin\logfile.txt

It told me that mode was not recognised.

Thanks anyway
