ECHO and XCOPY error

[goldenlight1814]

I want to make a txt file through the Command Prompt using the ECHO command but it is not working

ECHO F |XCOPY > C:\123.txt

If you open the 123.txt file it should contain this:

F|XCOPY

You need to put the F | XCOPY in quotes. The vertical bar is being interpreted by the command shell as a pipe command.
