after batch file output to txt, the font not consistent?

[beidog]

I wrote a batch file to output my system infor to a txt file.
After I run it, I found that the fonts are not the same.
The output for "wmic" obviously are different than others (See attachment).
There is also a big gap for CPU infor. I tried to delete the "echo." but no luck.
However, while I run "wmic" alone, its output is normal. but while I put some commands before "wmic", the fonts look wired.
anyone know why? thanks!


Here is my code:


@echo off
echo Checking your system infor, Please wating...
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Host Name"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Domain"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"OS Name"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"OS Version"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System Manufacturer"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System Model"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System type"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Total Physical Memory"

ipconfig | findstr /c:"IP Address"

echo.

echo Hard Drive Space:
wmic diskdrive get size

echo.
echo.

echo Service Tag:
wmic bios get serialnumber

echo.
echo.
echo CPU:
wmic cpu get name

echo Completed! Thank you!

pause

Yeah, so I tried it myself and I didn't have any issues.

If you want your system Information, download an awesome little app called Speccy from Piriform (Piriform - Download CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, Speccy - Millions of users worldwide!). It pulls from the hardware itself, not just what Windows thinks it is.

In the attached batch script, I fixed your spacing problem, and I fixed the IP Address detection. Run it by typing info.bat > info.txt in Command Prompt. Please rep me if it works (the small scale in the upper right corner of this post), or tell me if it doesn't.

Thank you for your help. so the "fixit.tmp" is for storing the info temporally?
It does work! but not work for all my cases.
I tested it on about 20 PCs, it worked perfectly on XP.
however, for vista and win7, no output show up for those commands with "fixit.tmp" in some computers.(see attachment)
I also tried different computer in the same model. only two win7 computers showed up all info, and other six missed some output.( like the pictures).
I don't know why this happen, but I use my original bat file for those six computers, the missed info showed up, but the fonts are off.
ANY CLUE?


My updated Code:


@echo off
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Host Name"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Domain"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"OS Name"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"OS Version"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System Manufacturer"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System Model"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System type"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Total Physical Memory"

echo.
echo Hard Drive Space:
wmic diskdrive get size > fixit.tmp
type fixit.tmp

echo.
echo Service Tag:
wmic bios get serialnumber > fixit.tmp
type fixit.tmp

echo.
echo Released Date:
wmic bios get releasedate > fixit.tmp
type fixit.tmp

echo.
echo CPU:
wmic cpu get name > fixit.tmp
type fixit.tmp

del fixit.tmp

echo.
ipconfig | findstr /c:"IPv4 Address"

echo.
echo Completed!

On the machines that don't work, please try following the following steps and tell me if they work.

1. Open Command Prompt
2. cd Desktop
3. echo This is a test > test.txt
4. Open test.txt on your desktop and see if it says "This is a test".
5. Back in cmd, try type test.txt and see if it correctly displays the content of test.txt.

Here is my version of the code, and the output it produces:

@echo off
echo Checking your system information. Please wait...
echo.
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Host Name"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Domain" 
systeminfo | findstr /c:"OS Name" 
systeminfo | findstr /c:"OS Version" 
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System Manufacturer" 
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System Model"
systeminfo | findstr /c:"System type" 
systeminfo | findstr /c:"Total Physical Memory"
echo. 
ipconfig | findstr /c:"IPv4 Address" 
ipconfig | findstr /c:"IPv6 Address"
echo.
echo Hard Drive Space: 
wmic diskdrive list brief 
echo BIOS: 
wmic bios list brief 
echo CPU: 
wmic cpu list brief
echo Completed! Thank you!

BriceH,
Thanks, I figured it out. I need to output "wmic" commands to a actual file in the hard disk(such as C:\temp.txt) and then "type" it and "del" it. but i am still wondering why some PCs wouldn't work just like the others.
I appreciated your help.
