I'm trying to echo a variable made of multiple lines

But "echo.[+] %check_code%" doesn't work

How can it be possible


Thank you for your help

------------------------------------------------------------------------


@echo off

SETLOCAL


set "header=> nul& echo.[+] %check_code% & echo.===========================================================================-= >> %COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul"

set "check_code=Part_001"


echo %header% >>%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul

What are the exact contents that you expect %COMPUTERNAME%.xml to have?

echo.[+] %check_code% -> Not working!!!

[ShadowThief]

Well then you're going to have to change your code. If you had wanted the contents of the file to be

Code: Select all

> nul& echo.[+] %check_code% & echo.============================================================================= >> %COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul

then you could have just done

Code: Select all

@echo off
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion

set "header=> nul& echo.[+] %%check_code%% & echo.============================================================================= >> %%COMPUTERNAME%%.xml 2> nul"
set "check_code=Part_001"

echo !header! >>%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul

Unfortunately, you've stated that the line of ==s isn't supposed to be part of the output file, which means that you'll need to delete the & and everything after it from the line where you set the %header% variable.

As shadowthief has already asked, What output do you actually expect?


If you require this output:

Code: Select all

[+] Part_001
=============================================================================

You can use a macro like this:

Code: Select all

@Echo off
(Set LF=^


%= Linefeed variable. Don not modify this or above 2 lines. =%)
@echo off
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
set "header=>> "%~dp0%COMPUTERNAME%.xml" Echo([+] ?^^^!LF^^^!============================================================================="

%Header:?=Part_001%

If this is not the output your aiming for, provide a clear example of the expected output.

I did not write the previous question specifically, so I rewrite it.


This is my batch code

Code: Select all

@echo off

SETLOCAL

set "header=> nul& echo.[+] %check_code% & echo.===========================================================================-= >> [F_RESULT]__%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul"

set "check_code=SRV-001"

echo %header% >> [F_RESULT]__%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul

And I want this

code_result.png (4.79 KiB) Viewed 10194 times

But result is like this

code_result_screenshot.png (5.13 KiB) Viewed 10194 times

Trying to use variables instead of functions
Plz help!!!

You could have stayed in the original thread.

You have to set variables BEFORE you use them, so move the set check_code line above the set header line. Also, that first >> [F_RESULT]__%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2>nul being inside of the set header line means that your last line is saying

Code: Select all

echo >nul & echo.[+] %check_code% & echo.===========================================================================-= >> [F_RESULT]__%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul >> [F_RESULT]__%COMPUTERNAME%.xml 2> nul

You still haven't shown an example of what you're looking for, which tells me that you want [+] SRV-001 to be displayed on the screen and for ===========================================================================-= to be put into a text file, but you don't want [+] SRV-001 to be put into that same text file. Is that correct?

I wrote a new post because I am not used to using the forum.
I'm sorry about that
I want to tell you exactly what I want

It's correct.
I want to be displayed on the screen '[+] SRV-001'
To be put into a text file '===========================================================================-='

Wow!
It's a brilliant idea

I want to be displayed on the screen '[+] SRV-001'
To be put into a text file '===========================================================================-='

That output is simpler still, and does not require a multiline variable. It's just Concatenated commands that sends one string of output to stdout, and redirects the other to a file.
The approach I've demonstrated is a simple macro function that uses substring modification to replace '?' with the string to be output to stdout.

Code: Select all

@Echo off
 set "header=>> "%~dp0%COMPUTERNAME%.xml" (Echo(===========================================================================-=)&Echo([+] ?"
%Header:?=SRV_001%
