This seems like I’m missing something obvious but I can’t get redirects (>) to work in a .bat / .cmd file.

From the command line, this works as expected and sends the output and error streams to the log file:

doxygen doxygen.config 2>&1 > doxygen.log

Putting the exact same line inside a batch file and running it doesn’t work however. It looks like it tries to write the entire command to the log file rather than execute it and then loops??

How do I get output redirects to work inside a bat / cmd file? In case it makes a difference, I am using Win7 and have tried from cmd and powershell.

    Perhaps the batch script is calling itself. I would suggest you explicitly specify the extension for the executable your script is calling:

    doxygen.exe doxygen.config 2>&1 > doxygen.log
