How do you echo a tab keystroke to a log file within a batch file?

For example: echo %username% "tab" %computername% >> logfile.txt
Click to expand...

The environment variable #TAB is one of the "CONSTANTS" provided by the
(FREE) Advanced NT/2K/XP/K3 Command Library (ntlib.cmd).

Using your example:

ECHO %username% %#TAB% %computername% >> logfile.txt

or, without the extra spaces,

ECHO %username%%#TAB%%computername%>> logfile.txt

*******

There are also many other mnemonically named #CONSTANTS available to assist
in writing self-documenting cross-platform scripts.

To get your copy of ntlib.cmd, see (http://ntlib.com).
