Is it possible to redirect the output of a batch file inside the script?

Question

I would like to set the standard output of a batch script to go to a file. I would like to do this inside the script if possible.

Note: I do no

Answer 1

One way of doing it is the following. Use the call command to execute a label in the script. Edit I realized the first version I posted does not seem to work in a cmd.exe prompt (I was using TCC). The following seems to work in both command processors:

@echo off
call :testitout > t.tmp
goto:eof

:testitout
echo Hi There
echo Goodbye

Answer 2

> is the standard, so you're more-or-less stuck with that; however, you can move it inside the batch file:

foo.bat:

@echo off
@echo Start File > StdOut.txt
@dir >> StdOut.txt
@echo End File >> StdOut.txt
