Problem with batch file

[Mike]

Hello, I am trying to type the following two commands in a batch file but I
am having some difficulties.

tracert www.google.co.uk >> inetlog.txt
ping -n 20 www.google.co.uk >> inetlog.txt

The tracert command works fine and outpus to inetlog.txt
When the ping command tries to access inetlog.txt, a get the error message -
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process".
Also the batch keeps running forever instead of just terminating after the
two commands.

Please could someone help

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Have you tried outputting the 'ping' line to different file?

Using "exit" on a third line should stop it repeating itself.

Hi

You haven't called your batch file tracert.bat or ping.bat by any chance?
