How do I write on more than one line in Dos
« on: September 08, 2004, 11:04:44 AM »
 ??? ???

Help! I'm a total newbie to DOS. I use Windows XP Home Edition and I was wondering if anybody could help me out.

How do I write a command on more than one line? I need to execute a command which is divided into 3 lines. How do I do that without pressing enter to execute the partially written command?

i use this...its a bit not nerdy, but it works

echo    line one   >  mybit.bat
echo    line two   >>  mybit.bat
echo     line three  >> mybit.bat

(NB  the double greater than signs add each line to the bat)

check it by using the type comman(type mybit.bat)
