line breaks in batch-created text file?

[imported_stev]

I poked around online to make a batch script to defrag both of my hard drives every week. This is what I came up with:

cd C:\windows\system32
defrag C: >C:\defrag.log 2>&1
defrag D: >>C:\defrag.log 2>&1
date /t >>C:\defrag.log
time /t >>C:\defrag.log

It outputs the analysis and defragmentation reports for both drives and then the last two lines output the date and time of completion. My question is simple and a little anal. How do I add a line break or two between the defrag output and the date/time?

echo off

Err, i think an empty echo will give you a line feed.

Echo by itself gives the status... however, google to the rescue.

echo.

No space between echo and period.

Thank you for your excellent Googling skills. I spent quite a bit of time searching, but I kept running into lines of "echo" code in which the symbols used weren't explained.
