I want to copy the contents of windows command prompt into a text file. So far I've seen methods only to move the contents of cmd to the text file rather than copying it. Is there a way to have the contents in both cmd and text file.

I want this as a command instead of "select all" and "ctrl+c" so that i can use the command in my batch file.

There is no 'copytext' function, but also your question is unclear. Do you want to pipe the results to text file? If so, you can use > to redirect the output to a file. e.g. dir/s > c:dir.txt if you then throw in a | dir.txt you'll see the output in the command prompt too.

I am aware of pipe. But I want the contents in cmd as well instead of being just in the text file. Pipe will move the contents to the file

See my comment, throw in a | as well. e.g. dir/s . > c:dir.txt | type dir.txt, or put type dir.txt on the line below in your batch file.

If you don't want the solution of select/copy/paste, then only PowerShell has this capability.
