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!

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.
