Write a file using System Command

I am trying to create a file using the system command but it does not work for some reason. It just echoes the command back.

system("echo 'Hello2222, world.' >foo2.txt");
Hello2222, world. >foo2.txt

When I run the echo command in CMD, the file is created.

Notice that the documentation for system says

On Windows, system does not use a shell and there is a separate function shell which passes command lines to a shell.

shell("echo 'Hello2222, world.' >foo2.txt")

will do what you want.
