How to echo “2” (no quotes) to a file, from a batch script?

Question

How do I echo the number 2 into a file, from a batch script?

This doesn\'t work:

Echo 2>> file.txt

because 2&g

Answer 1

If you need an accurate write, use this command

(ECHO |set /p=2)>>file.txt

the command by DMan will produce a 0x0D0A line break behind the "2"
