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 had the same problem and while Claes Mogren's answer does not work with cmd.exe it made me think if there's a shell on Windows that could do that.
And of course there is... PowerShell.

Using PowerShell shell you can achieve this using following command:

svn ci -m "reference to Ninject fixed`nsome ignores added"

Notice the combination of backqoute and n in the message

`n
