Cannot echo in the same line in Batch script -

i have txt files contain several lines , need create log out of them store in log following information:
file name
last modified
count of lines containing word "valid"

i've put .bat file splits output in 2 lines.

type nul >  filesreceived.txt & %f in (*.log) ( find /c "valid" %f & echo(%~tf)>> logsreceived.txt ) 

with type nul clear contents of filesreceived.txt file. loop through files of type log.
count lines contain word valid find /c , echo last modified time stamp.

however output looks like:

---------- transaction_20160505_1005a.log: 6492
10/06/2016 04:37 p.m.

i don't know what's generating dashes. i'd have 1 line per log file follows:

transaction_20012b.log: 6492 10/06/2016 04:37 p.m.

hope guys can me.

thanks,

bruce

find prints dashes if processes file. doesn't, when processing stdin (type file.ext /c |find "string" prints count only).

there trick write without linefeed: <nul set /p"=hello"

if can live order, it's quite easy assemble it::

@echo off %%f in (*.bat) (   <nul set /p "=%%f %%~tf "   type %%f|find /c "echo" ) 

if want keep order it's little bit more complicated: can't force find write without linefeed, have use trick (another for):

@echo off (for %%f in (*.txt) (   <nul set /p "=%%f: "   /f %%i in ('type %%f^|find /c "valid"') (<nul set /p "=%%i ")   echo %%~tf ))>logsreceived.txt
