how can I store a paragraph in a variable

[Adrianvdh]

Hello everyone...

Could someone please tell me how I can store a paragraph, or sentence lines e.g...

"I like the colour blue"
"I like pets"
"My favourite pet is a boxer dog"

Yes like that rather , How could I do that. With spaces, ect just in one variable.

So if I...

echo "%var%"

it would echo the lines, or something close to that, what every you can do will be great!

Thank you for your time, and helping everyone on the forum

try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "myparagraph="I like the colour blue""I like pets""My favourite pet is a boxer dog""
set LF=^


REM ^two empty lines are important^
set "myparagraph=%myparagraph:""="!LF!"%"
echo !myparagraph!

Thanks a lot for you help but is there any way to remove the ' " ' from the lines?

Thank you for all your time

But your example lines are double quoted.

Think a bit more carefully about your question... and explain why you need to do it.

There are a mountain of tricks and techniques that could work, if the actual task is described.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "myparagraph=I like the colour blue""I like pets""My favourite pet is a boxer dog"

REM ^two empty lines are important^
set "myparagraph=%myparagraph:""=!LF!%"
echo !myparagraph!
