I don't know your script, but redirecting output to NUL device usually works: COPY X.TXT Y.TXT > NUL Another option: CTTY NUL COPY X.TXT Y.TXT CTTY CON However you wouldn't like singlestepping batchfiles in that case as CTTY NUL redirects both input and output, thus keyboard input isn't accepted for the moment, right until restored by CTTY CON ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
