Redirect console output to null in Windows CE batch file

Tricky thing

this works as expected under windows

ping localhost > nul

and redirects the output into nirvana.

But i am writing a batch script on a Windows CE 6.0 Device and the same call creates a file "nul". Is it possible to dismiss the console output in CE?

Update

This is the output after running dir * > nul twice in an empty directory

Directory of \flashdisk\test

06/13/13  15:35                      0 nul

Solution

  • This solution both works on Windows (7) and Windows CE
    Just pipe the output to REM

    ping localhost | REM
