How to use newline character in text in cmd batch?

Question

I would like to do

svn commit -m \"\"

But message should have two lines:

Commit by: firstuser
Bug track: 92         


        

Answer 1

I found the answer over at Serverfault:

svn ci -m $'This is the first line\nThis is the second line'

Apparently it's a shell-problem.
