DOS and Batch Files - Redirect the Positions of the Redirect

SUMMARY: In DOS, redirection symbols can appear in multiple locations.

When you perform a command involving redirecting the output such as DIR *.TXT > TEXTLIST, you normally place the redirection symbol after the command you are redirecting. You don't have to do this. The command > TEXTLIST DIR *.TXT works fine.
