Batch File2.cmd should look like this:

@CD . 1>"t.txt" 2>NUL || Exit /B
:r
@(Echo 101010101010) 1>>"t.txt"
@GoTo r

The first line will create your text file, unless the current directory is not writeable. Should that be the case, your batch file will simply close without entering the loop. The code in the loop will print your required string without including any trailing spaces.
In order to stop writing to the file, you will need to enter Ctrl+C

Therefore to output it from Batch File1.cmd you'd need:

@(
    Echo @CD . 1^>"t.txt" 2^>NUL ^|^| Exit /B
    Echo :r
    Echo @(Echo 101010101010^) 1^>^>"t.txt"
    Echo @GoTo r
) 1>"Batch File2.cmd"

Using this method, you simply need to escape the usual special characters, plus any nested closing parentheses. In the above your special characters are the redirection and pipe characters.

Thank You Soo Much @Compo I was in need of help Since Very long Ever Since i've figured out how to use stackoverflow People have stopped calling me Mad. I hope there are more legends like Compo and Hackoo out there. Cheers. — Swapnil Mishra, Jun 08 '22 at 17:34
