Com Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] cmd.exe bug in win2k sp4 in "for" loop Hi Aditya, this is not a bug, but normal operation of msdos command interpreter. There is a concept of different outputs for normal output and errors. They are called "stdout" and "stderr". stdout = 1 stderr = 2 When you redirect a program's output, you may specifiy which output you want (stdin or stderr). By default stdout is used, so a "1" is added before the redirections ">" or ">>". If you want to catch errors, you need to specify stderr output like this : echo "ello" 2>>stderr.log You may also catch each of them like this : echo "ello" 1>>stdout.log 2>>stderr.log You may find more details here : www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/redirection.asp This is XP details, but I think it is the same behavior on NT, 2K and 2003.
