I would like to share a Windows batch script that would add a line of text / record to the beginning of a text file.
Text File: example.txt
Text to be inserted: Hello World!
Script:
COPY example.txt temp.txt
ECHO Hello World!>example.txt
TYPE temp.txt >>example.txt
DEL temp.txt
Explanation:
1) Copy the example.txt content to a temporay file
COPY example.txt temp.txt
2) Overwrite the example.txt content with new text we need to add to the beginning
ECHO Hello World!>example.txt
3) Append the content of temp.txt to example.txt
TYPE temp.txt >>example.txt
4) Delete the temp.txt file
DEL temp.txt
It worked well! Share your comments for queries, improvements and suggestions.
