  How to put %random% to a new batch file with a batch file?
  
  1 answer
  
  

I am trying to create a batch script that will create a new script with special characters, example:

set /p new_name= "New name of the file with extension :"

ren %rename_file% %new_name% 2>>error.log

del %rename_file% 

del error.log

using the >>(name of new batch script), the user is asked to enter the file name with extension, any errors are caught by line 2 so it does not show on the screen. Then line 3 deletes the file and finally line 4 deletes the error log

My question, How do I get line 2 which contains >> to be wrote into new batch script? If I simply type >>(new batch script name), it ignores that and sends it to error.log.

  Firstly the first list item should read Set /P "new_name=New name of the file with extension: ". The second item should read Ren "%rename_file%" "%new_name%" 2>Nul. The other two lines are absolutely unnecessary. Characters such as > when Echoing need escaping with a caret, ^, i.e. ^> or ^>^>. As this is a common question, you should really delete it as it will be of no use to others moving forward.
