Writing single digit numbers to a text file -

i have code

rem saved in d:\temp\writetext.bat @echo off @echo -attedit> atteditchangename.txt @echo y>> atteditchangename.txt @echo 36x24bdr>> atteditchangename.txt @echo subtitle>> atteditchangename.txt @echo b209 11.5 ton bridge elec layout 1 ^& 2>> atteditchangename.txt @echo 612.9014,43.8533>> atteditchangename.txt @echo 618.5063,35.8628>> atteditchangename.txt @echo 109.9409,-6.7209>> atteditchangename.txt @echo.>> atteditchangename.txt @echo v>> atteditchangename.txt @echo c>> atteditchangename.txt @echo b209>> atteditchangename.txt @echo b211>> atteditchangename.txt @echo next>> atteditchangename.txt  pause 

that creates text file , fills text. problem line intended write text "b209 11.5 ton bridge elec layout 1 & 2" not writing. instead, gets fed on screen.

we troubleshooted problem as , found this happens when number single digit , both preceded , followed space.

for example:

• "1a" work

• "11" work

• "1." work

• " 1 " not work

it requirement text read " 1 & 2" verbatim. can achieve this?

instead of specifying each echo should go on every line
(i.e @echo -attedit> atteditchangename.txt) , use method of block form. solve issue you've been having , clean code bit.

@echo off  > atteditchangename.txt ( @echo -attedit @echo y @echo 36x24bdr @echo subtitle @echo b209 11.5 ton bridge elec layout 1 ^& 2 @echo 612.9014,43.8533 @echo 618.5063,35.8628 @echo 109.9409,-6.7209 @echo. @echo v @echo c @echo b209 @echo b211 @echo next )     pause 

using > atteditchangename.txt (as did in example) override current contents of file, , replace in (). if wish simple add text file, use >> atteditchangename.txt.

while i'm unsure why issue arises, above code format solve problem , print of text text file.
