I would like to know how can I write the output of these 2 commands into a file.I tried like
wc -l outfile2;du -sk outfile2>xyz.txt
Then it is writing only the output of second command to the file.
Without writing to a file, it is giving outputs of both correctly.Any thoughts?

echo `wc -l outfile2; du -sk outfile2` > xyz.txt
