@echo off > stuff.log ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Thanks for the reply, apologies, I did not explain myself clearly. Call: stuff.bat >> stuff.log start of stuff.bat @echo Hello ... clear out stuff.log @echo Tree End of Stuff.bat Type stuff.log ... Tree I cannot change the call stuff.bat >> stuff.log, but I can change the contents of stuff.bat. I need to ensure that stuff.log is emptied before I start writing to it. Thanks
