How to add a header before the output in Windows command line?

Within ITRS I am trying to print "Current Java Directory" before I print the output of the file in Windows.

On the Windows command line, I am using: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c type D:\Apps\Statements\Alerts\java_path_validation.txt .

Currently right now within ITRS it is displaying this below: value_from_text_file

What I am looking to do:

But I need to have "Current Java Directory" as the header right now where C:\Program Files (x86)Java\jre7. And then beneath it, I need to have C:\Program Files (x86)Java\jre7 as the value.

Is this something I can do from the command line using an echo before, I execute: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c type D:\Apps\Statements\Alerts\java_path_validation.txt .

Solution

  • I was able to find the resolution. You have to echo the heading first followed by an ampersand "&" with the type command within ITRS so it can run it on the command line:

    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c echo Current Java Directory & type D:\Apps\Statements\Alerts\java_path_validation.txt
