    Hi,
    I have a small piece of software that was developed by someone else , It is for performance monitoring purposes for a specific supplication.

    When I run it using the specified arguments it requires , its results are output line by line.

    I set up a batch file that will run the .exe with the correct arguments , and then out put the results to a log file, and that works great.

    What I would like to achieve is to have the results printed to the log file on one line each time the batch file is run.

    Here is the batch script currently:


    @echo off

    >>C:�\Test_SimTX\test.txt (

    echo [%date% %time%]

    "C:\data\test.exe"
    Echo Done!
    )


    The results will be output like this (this is when run 3 times in a row):

    [15/06/2018 17:20:10.10]
    Connecting to Server.
    Sending Message to Server.
    Waiting for Response.
    Response: OK - Took: 1.325983
    Done!
    [15/06/2018 17:31:04.20]
    Connecting to Server.
    Sending Message to Server.
    Waiting for Response.
    Response: OK - Took: 1.0607864
    Done!
    [15/06/2018 17:32:06.31]
    Connecting to Server.
    Sending Message to Server.
    Waiting for Response.
    Response: OK - Took: 1.37
    Done!

    This is fine, but I would like to make each write to the log display as below:

    [15/06/2018 17:32:06.31] Connecting to Server. Sending Message to Server. Waiting for Response. Response: OK - Took: 1.37 Done!


    Anyone have any ideas?

    I found something after a few mins of google to try using set /p , but it has not worked in any way, I might be using it incorrectly.
