Hi,

Is it possible to echo a newline in window shell script?

eg.
@echo this is the 1st line
@echo ???
@echo this is the 3rd line

The result expected:
this is the 1st line
(blank line)
this is the 3rd line

Many Thanks..

Hi Adam,

It returned 'echo is on' though. Did I miss anything?

Given:
@echo this is the 1st line
@echo
@echo this is the 3rd line

The result:
this is the 1st line
echo is on
this is the 3rd line

Thanks.

yes. you missed the point ;-)

change your line to:
@echo.

(note the point! and no space!)
