echo cmd1 > file  
echo cmd2 >> file

Where cmd1 or cmd2 need to be replaced by the required statements you want to have in the batch file. ( >> appends)

Well, this also adds the quotation marks and the trailing space to the file… – aschipfl Oct 05 '20 at 15:03
so just remove the quotations, it will still echo – hackedshadow Oct 05 '20 at 15:06
"cmd1" and "cmd2" is meant as placeholder for whatever command is required. – stacker Oct 05 '20 at 15:09
@stacker, I think you just mean the string of data you want output to the file. The commands will not execute with the `ECHO` command at the beginning. – Squashman Oct 05 '20 at 15:14
I know it is really easy to give an answer to a question, but in my humble opinion it would have been just as easy to find a previous question that answered the users question. – Squashman Oct 05 '20 at 15:16
