    How to make this bat file output the results to a .txt file? - by using redirection operators. –  Sep 09 '17 at 02:42
  • @Jay, I have placed all of your code into a formatted code block, it is however not clear what your original code looked like. Can you please check the code and confirm whether what you see is exactly as you have it in your script. – Compo Sep 09 '17 at 11:50

If this is stored in my.bat, simply use redirection.

my.bat >my.txt

If you also want stderr to go into the same file, use:

my.bat >my.bat 2>&1

Note that this will not put the purgelog* information go into my.txt because its target file is explicitly specified.
