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

What are the "!!" for?

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.
