If I am using a command file to create another command file by using 'echo'
commands, I can put the string "abcd goldfish" into my new command file by
saying "echo abcd goldfish >blap", and if I want to put in the string
">longenough" I can say "echo >longenough >blap" but how can I put in the
strin ">short"; if I say "echo >short >blap" it doesn't work, maybe because
it takes 'short' as a
possible file name and directs output to it instead of file 'blap'. Anyone
know how to get around this?
Thanks....
