Using only one ">" within the @echo command will either create a new "test.txt file" if one does not already exist or over write the contents of the "test.txt" file should one already exist.

@echo This will create a file with new contents > test.txt

Using two ">>" within thin the @echo command will append this line to the existing "test.txt" file.

@echo This will append this line to the end of the file >> test.txt
