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

You can define the newline as follows:

set newline=^& echo.

Then, you can use the newline in other statements, like this: (no quotes)

echo This is the first line%newline%This is the second line
echo "This is the first line"%newline%"This is the second line"

or with an extra caret, like this:

set text=This is the first line^%newline%This is the second line

Perhaps you can play with that, but mind the combination with quotes!
