At the page are missing some more cases.
Code: Select all
SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
echo 1 ^^^^ "^^^^"
echo 2 ^^^^ "^^^^" ^^!
echo *******
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
echo 3 ^^^^ "^^^^"
echo 4 ^^^^ "^^^^" ^^!
---- OUTPUT ----
1 ^^ "^^^^"
2 ^^ "^^^^" ^!
*******
3 ^^ "^^^^"
4 ^ "^^" !
As you can see, number 4 seems to be really mysterious.
To understand the escape mechanism is one of the major keys of batch files.
hope it helps
