writing multiline .txt

[Fantini]

Hi, I'm kinda new in this, and I can't do something...

I want to something like this:

Echo Hello > Hello.txt

This work to me only when I'm working with a single line, but I want to create a Hello.txt with more than one line... for example:

Code: [Select]

Hello
World
Thank You

Sorry my bad English, it isn't my native lenguage  , can anybody help me plz?

[diablo416]

if i understand right , this is what you need..

echo hello >hello.txt
echo world >hello.txt
echo thank you >hello.txt

OR

or echo hello >hello.txt & echo world >hello.txt & echo thank you >hello.txt

[Fantini]

ok, a lot of thanks, but I have another problem now xD...

how can I do to white %hello% in a .bat file???
I want to create a .bat with that string

[diablo416]

just replace .txt with .bat

echo %hello% >>youbatchfile.bat

[Fantini]

the problem is when I use

echo %hello% >>youbatchfile.bat

when I open the .bat there isn't the %hello% line...

because %hello% is a variable, but i want to write literaly

[diablo416]

ok , instead type .. echo %^hello% >>yourbatchfile.bat

[Fantini]

it isn't work

[diablo416]

what operating system do you use?  , try echo ^%^hello% >>batchfile.bat then

[Fantini]

sorry for not saying it, I'm using Win XP

that didn't work neither

you bunch of prannys. 

Fantini, this is what you need to know.

To start a file, the first line uses one (1) of these symbols >

That is called creating the file.

The lines after that use two (2) of them like this >>

That is called appending to the file.

Like this.

echo hello > hello.txt
echo world >> hello.txt
echo Thank You >> hello.txt

[diablo416]

ive always used >> i never thought it made a difference , between > and >> .. ive never had a problem with it..   
after you set the variable .. what happense when you just type echo ^%^hello%? does it echo %hello% , or does it whatever your variable is set too?  .. what is your variable set to?   ,

ECHO ECHO 3. Salir >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO set /p choice=Elige el Servidor Porfavor:  >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1% >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO if '%choice%'=='1' goto tarrewow >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO if '%choice%'=='2' goto servidor 2 >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO if '%choice%'=='3' goto end >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO "%choice%" No es una opcion valida, intentalo denuevo porfavor >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO. >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO pause >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO cls >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO goto start >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO :tarrewow >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO SET realmlist tarrewow.getmyip.com > realmlist.*censored* >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO goto end >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO :servidor 2 >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO SET realmlist %opcion% > realmlist.*censored* >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO goto end >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO :end >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO cls >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO. >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO TarreWoW Launcher V0.1 by Fantini >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO Gracias por preferirnos... >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO ECHO. >> TarreWoW.bat
ECHO pause >> TarreWoW.bat
pause
and I want to make it look like this:

Code: [Select]

ECHO off
title TarreWoW Launcher V0.1 by Fantini
cls
:start
ECHO.
ECHO 1. TarreWoW
ECHO 2. Servidor numero 2: %opcion%
ECHO 3. Salir
set /p choice=Elige el Servidor Porfavor:
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto tarrewow
if '%choice%'=='2' goto servidor 2
if '%choice%'=='3' goto end
ECHO "%choice%" No es una opcion valida, intentalo denuevo porfavor
ECHO.
pause
cls
goto start
:tarrewow
ECHO SET realmlist tarrewow.getmyip.com > realmlist.*censored*
goto end
:servidor 2
ECHO SET realmlist %opcion% > realmlist.*censored*
goto end
:end
cls
ECHO.
ECHO TarreWoW Launcher V0.1 by Fantini
ECHO Gracias por preferirnos...
ECHO.
pause
but when I edit my TarreWoW.bat I see '' instead of '%choice%'

[diablo416]

ok i see what you mean... type this instead

echo if '^%^c^hoice%'=='3' goto terrewow >>tarrewow.bat


i tryed it in your code and it works,

[contrex]

Why are you doing it that way? Are you crazy?

[Fantini]

Open notepad or any editor you like, key in the code above save it as some name you like, and you are ready to go.

[NDog]

you can go like this echo %%hello%%>file.txt
or
echo if '%%choice%%'=='3' goto terrewow >>tarrewow.bat

Hi Fantini!

             I request you to please try to use the COPY CON filename.txt command for storing text in multilines.

For e.g. C:\>COPY CON filename.txt
write some text here with multilines. When writing of files is over press CTRL+Z button to save the contents of file.

You may also press F6 button instead of CTRL+Z.
