How to escape the > sign on Windows command line?
For example, foo -option 10->30 file.ext (this is an actual syntax required) redirects the output to a file named 30. How do I make cmd understand that I would like to pass the actual > character? I've tried several forms of double quotes to no avail.
Solution 1:
The cmd escape character is ^ so:
foo -option 10-^>30 file.ext
should work for you
Solution 2:
You can also quote the argument:
foo -option "10->30" file.ext
