Hi,
I am writing a windows script to run 2 commands. Now the outputs goes in two rows, but I want the output of each command goes in different columns in excel. This is My script:

Code: Select all

For %%F in (*.txt) do ( 
Command_1 %%F >> output.xls & command_2 %%F >> output.xls
)
Now my Output.xls is like:

Code: Select all

AAA
BBB
I want my output.xls be like :

Code: Select all

AAA BBB      

I will appreciate if somebody has any solution for this.

Thanks,

What you're trying to do is not possible with standard IO redirection. Moreover, use bash via WSL or PowerShell. You're doing yourself a disfavour by using CMD in this day and age.
