Outputting results of a bat h file to one single line instead of multiple lines.

demanufactured

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.

Its writing directly to the log on each operation, you need to make a "buffer" to load your data into.

The flow should be:
Create var
Append timedate
Append output from exe
Strip all newlines from var
Write var to logfile

I use batch infrequently so I won't try and write this up but with a few mins on StackOverflow you should get it going.
