What is the Windows equivalent to the UNIX CAT command?

G'day,

Can someone suggest the Windows equivalent of the following UNIX usage of CAT?

In UNIX:

Code:

set i = 1
cat << EOF > input.txt
+ var_${i} 0 byte Variable 1
+ spc_${i} 0 byte Variable 2
+ arq_${i} 0 integer Variable 3
EOF

results in a file called input.txt, that when opened looks like this:

Code:

+ var_1 0 byte Variable 1
+ spc_1 0 byte Variable 2
+ arq_1 0 integer Variable 3

I'm trying to achieve the same thing in a .BAT file using the Windows cmd shell, but I'm unsure of the appropriate command and syntax. Can someone offer any pointers?

Thanks,
Golden

Pretty simple, really.

Code:

set i=1
echo + var_%i% 0 byte Variable 1 > input.txt
echo + spc_%i% 0 byte Variable 2 >> input.txt
echo + arq_%i% 0 byte integer Variable 3 >> input.txt

When outputting to a file from a .BAT file, a single ">" indicates to create a new file while a double ">>" indicates to concatenate to an existing file.

Sorted. Thanks fellas
