thanks it really works but when i run the below code the cmd window very fastly get resized and resized until the code ends
do you know why this resizing occur because there is no code that tells cmd to do such behevior,there is only echoing command

Code: Select all

@echo off
chdir /d "%~dp0"
set "scr=%~dp0\_cho.scr"
echo N _CHO.COM> "%scr%"
echo E 0100 BB 80 00 43 80 3F 0D 75 FA C6 07 24 B4 09 BA 82>> "%scr%"
echo E 0110 00 39 DA 7F 02 CD 21 B4 4C CD 21>> "%scr%"
for %%s in (RCX 001B W Q) do echo %%s>> "%scr%"
debug< "%scr%" >nul
del "%scr%" /q

_cho.com %date%
_cho.com . test first word
_cho.com . test second word.

pause >nul

The debug command resizes the window, perhaps also the _cho.com (didn't test this).

You can also use simple batch syntax to echo into the same line

Code: Select all

<nul set /p ".=Line1-"
echo This is appended to Line1

It sounds like you are set with powershell. But there is an easy .bat solution known to this site that I'm surprised no one responded with. I think I learned this from a jeb post. I put a ping delay in to simulate some operation that takes time:

Code: Select all

@echo off
(<nul set/p=Hello )&(>nul ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000)&echo world!

result:

Code: Select all

Hello world!

If you want to make it more readable, you could define a simple "macro"

Code: Select all

@echo off
set "echoNoLF=<nul set/p="
(%echoNoLF%Hello )&(>nul ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000)&echo world!

Edit note: Wow - I didn't read jeb's answer carefully. He did post most of this solution already! Sorry for the oversight jeb. Jeb's version with quotes handles special characters witout escaping, but doesn't lend itself to a "macro". My version without quotes works as a simple "macro", but requires special characters to be escaped

not bad
it is so complex than in any other language
but the code really worked

Code: Select all

@echo off
set "echoNoLF=<nul set/p="
set "pin=>nul ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000"

(%echoNoLF%No thanks )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF%No credit )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF% this )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF% dumb )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF% nature )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF% asks )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF% for )&(%pin%)&(%echoNoLF% nothing )&(%pin%)&echo in return

thanks scripting gurus indeed
