Hi,
I'm wondering if i could have some help with making line breaks in an ouput .txt file made using a batch file.
Here's the beginning of my script, so you might see better what i mean:

@echo OFF
type NUL > newfile.txt
ECHO Hello, world. I am currently asking a question. > newfile.txt

I want the text to be output into the newfile.txt file looking like this:

Hello, world.
I am currently asking a question.

I have tried searching around alot, trying different suggestions that use & and ^ and ECHO and ECHO. and $'\r' but i haven't gotten anything to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

This work only for the example you posted

.
Just in case all you want to do is ADD a line...





> Create file.
>> Append to file on next line.

Code: Select all

echo Hello World>file.txt
echo I am currently asking a question>>file.txt
