title: Escape angle brackets in a Windows command prompt
body: <p>I need to echo a string containing angle brackets (&lt; and >) to a file on a Windows machine.  Basically what I want to do is the following:<br>
  <code>echo some string &lt; with angle &gt; brackets &gt;&gt;myfile.txt</code></p>
  
  <p>This doesn't work since the command interpreter gets confused with the angle brackets.  I could quote the whole string like this:<br>
  <code>echo "some string &lt; with angle &gt; brackets" &gt;&gt;myfile.txt</code></p>
  
  <p>But then I have double quotes in my file that I don't want.  </p>
  
  <p>Escaping the brackets ala unix doesn't work either:<br>
  <code>echo some string \&lt; with angle \&gt; brackets &gt;&gt;myfile.txt</code></p>
  
  <p>Ideas?</p>
