I always would ask this.
Is there a significant difference in speed between use:

> txt.tmp (echo(Text)

and:

echo(Text> txt.tmp

In the first the redirection is specified in left and in the second in right.

Hi carlos,

there should be no difference at all, as both lines will be executed in the same manner.

@echo ON
echo(Text> txt.tmp
> txt.tmp echo(Text

Output wrote:C:\temp>echo(Text 1>txt.tmp
C:\temp>echo(Text 1>txt.tmp

As you can see CMD.exe reorder the redirection always to the end of a line.
