Echo html in a batch file
Hi gang,

I need to echo html markup into a file via my batch file like this
Code:
echo  <center><a href=".....</a></center> >> index.html

Of course there is a lot more to the batch file than this but this is where it breaks. Is there a way to echo html markup into the new index.html?

I suspect that the batch file doesn't like < and >.

Using quotes will unfortunately include the quotes in the output. I don't think there is a way you can do this with the echo command.

Well, he mentioned he wants to do this in a batch file, so I'm assuming he's on Windows. On Windows, the echo command will include the quotes; at least WinXP.

A light bulb came on a minute ago and I remembered that I had done this in another script probably 2 years ago and it works.

Here's how to include HTML in a Batch File for output as per my example.
USE THE CARROT
Code:
echo  ^<center^>^<a href="someur.com"^>something^</a^>^</center^> >> index.html
Comments on this post
cybersaga agrees: Nice! I knew there had to be something like this, but I couldn't find it. Thanks for posting your
solution.
