I'm trying to write a vb script for windows xp that will read a list of clsids from a text file then build a vbscript to build a batch file based on them.

I set the name= with for /f and can then name the vbscripts and batch files with the variable and also use the same variable to find the dll associated with the clsid.

All is well until I try to echo these two lines:
echo strFileName = fs.BuildPath(Wscript.ScriptFullName & "\..", "%name%.bat")>>%name%.vbs

echo ts.WriteLine "echo " & (namedValueValue) & ">>%name%.txt"

I don't have a clue how to get those written just as they are. Can somebody please help?

Try to prefix the & with a caret ^, i.e. ^& so forcing the interpreter to process & as a normal character.

Thanks for the answer. Ignorance is supposed to be bliss, but it's pretty stressful if you ask me.
