title: WMIC and ECHO statements
body: <p>I'm trying to collect the list of programs from multiple computers and put them on one text file. When I use the below code I get a weird text instead of spaces and the computer name appended to my text file. The code and output from the code is below. The weird text is at the very start of the output, then a list of programs is appended. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo. &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  echo %computername% &gt;&gt; C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  wmic product get name,version &gt;&gt;"C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\programs.txt
  </code></pre>
