Answer» Is there any other way to extract the output of a command in batch file to txt without USING >file.txt ThanksYou can use FOR with the /F switch. See the FOR documentation - type FOR /? at the prompt or read here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx?mfr=true Thanks for your reply... I don's see how to use that command to do this. I want to run commands like "HOSTNAME", "wmic bios get serialnumber" and PUT the result in a text file. Can I do that with FOR command?

Even if you use the for loop to get the output of the command, if you want to save the output to a file, you will still need the redirection operators. Most programming languages other than batch, will have file i/o facilities for you to open a file handle, write to it, and closing the file handle after writing.
