Is it possible? I want to have a batch file echo the > character on a line, producing some output like this

Quote

asdf>asdf>asdf>asdf

However that's impossible because > is a command to write text to a file.

Wrapping the whole echo command in quotes makes it work, but unfortunately it echoes the quotes.

Any way to have the > appear? Thanks :thumbsup:

"To display a pipe (|) or redirection character (< or >) when you are using echo, use a caret character immediately before the pipe or redirection character (for example, ^>, ^<, or ^| ). If you need to use the caret character (^), type two (^^)."
