Batch File To Write Variable To a Text File

The following example write two variables “Name” and “Address” to “file.txt”:
 

 

@echo off

SET Name="Alex"
echo %Name% > file.txt

SET Address="Boston"
echo %Address% >> file.txt

Output:
 

• The > operator is used to overwrite any file that already exists with new content.
• The >> operator is used to append to the text file (add to), instead of overwriting it.
