I have a batch file that triggers process in Access database. I'd like to write into a log file (just some *.txt file saved in the same folder) time when before the process started and after it was finished. Is there a command for that? Thank you in advance

Using > and >> outputs to a file.
eg
echo Hello World > hi.txt
Will result in a file called hi.txt
containing the string "Hello World"
echo How are you >> hi.txt
Will add the line "How are you" to the end of hi.txt
This works on both Windows and Unix based OS. (Linux, Mac OS...)
On windows, using %TIME%
or %DATE%
in the echo string will output time/date as part of the string.
