This works as expected


But I don't want to have to hit ENTER.

But if I do this, it doesn't work as expected.. I want it to do like the above but hitting ENTER


ultimately I want to do


But without the CRLF at the end. So i'm using the echo.|set /p=_____ technique. But it's not working when the thing after the = contains a |

Hello taripo

Try this:

>echo.&set/p=AAAAAAAA^|BBBBBBB [ENTER]

I hope that it be helpful for you.

See you

try use a file as input, in this case the nul special file that not have any data.

Thanks carlos that <nul solution e.g. set/p=dd^|fds<nul and set/p"=dd|fds"<nul works.

Rodrig, that which you mentions doesn't work, you still have to hit enter. The point was me not having to hit ENTER.

Only for completness, you need three carets when using a pipe, or quote it



But at all this is a bad solution, carlos tip to use <nul is better, as it's much faster and with fewer problems

jeb

thanks..
so


looking at these 4 solutions

noted that <nul is better than echo.| or echo;|
so the latter two are the way to go

- echo. | set/p=AAAAAAAA^^^|BBBBBBB
- echo. | set /p "=AAAAAAAA|BBBBBBB"
- set/p "=AAAAAAAA|BBBBBBB" <nul
- set/p=AAAAAAAA^|BBBBBBB <nul


is the fourth one as good as the third one?

And why does the first one require that | to be escaped 3 times?
