Linefeed not working in DisableDelayedExpansion ?

Code: Select all

echo.begin

set $LF=^


:: Two empty lines are neccessary

echo.setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion

   set var1=this!$LF!works
   set "var2=this!$LF!works too"
   set var3=this%$LF%fails
   set "var4=this%$LF%fails too"
   set var5=this^%$LF%%$LF%works
   set "var6=this^%$LF%%$LF%fails"
   set ^"var7=this^%$LF%%$LF%works again"

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . .

Am I doing something wrong ?

[jeb]

Hmmm, it works as I expected

try this at the end

Code: Select all

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

echo(!var1!
echo(!var2!
echo(!var3!
echo(!var4!
echo(!var5!
echo(!var6!
echo(!var7!

in DisableDelayedExpansion ?

[jeb]

If you are in DisableDelayedExpansion, you need to use percent expansion, therefore the content is parsed in the special character phase, so you need to create your variable-content in a special way, so it works after two expansions.

Code: Select all

setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
set lf=^


set var1=Line1^^^%LF%%LF%^%LF%%LF%Line2
set var1
echo ----
echo %var1%

The content of var1 is "Line1^<LF><LF>Line2" so this can be expanded with percent, so the ^<LF><LF> will be reduced to a single <LF>

echo %var1%

set \n=^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%

Still not working

Your code expands the content three times, therefore you need the obvious string of

Code: Select all

set \n=^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%

^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%

^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%

I just imitate your thinking jeb because this is all quite new to me

Is this logical ?

[jeb]

Nearly ...
But your last line is not correct

This should be (obviously )
This works for four expansion cycles

Code: Select all

set $lf=^


set n4=^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%
set var1=Line1%n4%Line2
set var2=%var1%
echo %var2%

Yahoo, it works ! Look at me I'm a dinosaur

Code: Select all

set ^"\n=^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%^^^%$LF%%$LF%^%$LF%%$LF%"

This should be (obviously )

Have to crunch it down, cause I'm not much of a mathematic

Code: Select all

^^^%$LF%%$LF%
^%$LF%%$LF%

^^^^^^^%$LF%%$LF%
^%$LF%%$LF%
