I am trying to suppress the console output in Windows when I execute the TYPE command, e.g.:

TYPE myfile.dat.* > myfile.dat

The console keeps returning the list of file that were read. Since I am already redirecting the output to a file, I cannot use the > NUL redirection. Any ideas on this? Thank you!

Use `2>NUL` to suppress diagnostic output. – Raymond Chen Jun 19 '14 at 14:46
