suppressing a line feed in a cmd batch / trying to get 2 commands onto 1 line in output file

Question

did try googling this. Someone said a for loop, which I don't know that well.

These 2 in a cmd batch command file:

echo %date% %time% >> "%onedrive%\trackip.txt"
nslookup myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com | Find "Address:" | Find /V "208.67.222.222" >> "%onedrive%\trackip.txt"

puts

timestamp
ip address

on different lines.

I'd like

timestamp  [some spaces] IP address

each time it runs.

Can anyone help?!

(please note that `DOS` and the Windows Command Line (`cmd`) are very different things (although they look alike and share most of their commands, they have some major improvements in `cmd`)) — Stephan, Jun 25 '20 at 20:20

Well, for anyone else that needs help, here it is:

echo |set /p=%date% %time% >> "%onedrive%\trackip.txt"
nslookup myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com | Find "Address:" | Find /V "208.67.222.222" >> "%onedrive%\trackip.txt"

Just add

echo | set /p=

to that first line!? Really!? That's it?
