Add line to a batch file from command prompt

[saluum]

Hello Forum, 

I want to create a program which allows to add lines to an existing batch file. This should work within the Windows command prompt. I want to run it like this: 

myprogram.exe "C:\Program Files\MyPath\MyBatch.bat" "This is the line to be added to the batch-file. It should be allowed to use " ' should be allowed!"

I couldn't find out so far how to get this working. What also could be helpful if ther is a function which creates a batch file from the command prompt...

Thanks, s

While you could easily write this in an autoit script, you may not need it in the first place:

Quote

C:\tmp>echo Hi, I am "a" 'sentence'. Using one ^> symbol creates new file. > file.txt

C:\tmp>echo The caret escapes special characters. Using two ^> symbols APPENDS to the file. >> file.txt

C:\tmp>type file.txt
Hi, I am "a" 'sentence'. Using one > symbol creates new file.
The caret escapes special characters. Using two > symbols APPENDS to the file.

 If you want to write or append to a file from within AutoIt, check the helpfile and examples for FileOpen, FileWrite, FileWriteLine and many other related functions.

Thanks - this works fine for me.
