It's possible and you will find a few examples in this forum.
Code: Select all
@echo off
:: Create LineFeed character ::::::::::::::
set lf=^
:: Two empty lines above are neccessary! ::
set "line1=Hello"
set "line2=World!"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
:: merge both variables
set "var=!line1!!lf!!line2!"
:: display the result
echo !var!
endlocal
pause

The ! replaces the % for environment variables if enabledelaiedexpansion was set and you have to expand this variable more than once in a command line or a block.
