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

To create a newline in a svn message the best way is the one of aphoria with an extra message-file.

But it can be done also with the -m

Sample with a batch file

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set lf=^


rem ** Two empty lines are neccessary for creating the Linefeed
svn commit -m "A!lf!Message!lf!with!LF!newline"

You could also use it on the command line

svn commit -m ^"This is a^
MORE?
MORE?my newline"
