@echo off Command to turn on echo: @echo on We can turn on or turn off echo at any point in a batch file. For example, you may want echo to be on for certain commands in the batch file, and then you may turn it off, and then again you can turn it on. Example: I have the below batch file named echoExample.bat: date /t @echo off echo echo turned off date /t @echo on echo echo turned on date /t @echo off echo echo turned off date /t Now when I run the batch file, I see the below output. C: >echoExample.bat c: >date /t Mon echo turned off Mon c: >echo echo turned on echo turned on c: >date /t Mon echo turned off Mon c: > In the batch file, we have executed ‘date’ command 4 times. But the command is echoed only twice in the output. You can notice that for the 2nd and 4th times when echo is turned off, it does not echo the command in the output. Hello, if I am creating a text file through a batch file utilizing an echo command, is there a way to incorporate a return key.

DOS batch files are written in plain text. To turn off the echoing of commands for the whole batch file use the '@echo off' command as first command in the batch file. Followed by the blinking curser waiting for more input.

Example, if I input echo This is a test > Download patch virtual dj pro. Test.txt then it creates the Test text file in the directory. But if I wanted to make something like This is a test This is a test on a second line Is this possible, as it is, notepad will simply create one LONG string of text in the file if I attempt, and in a batch file incorporating the return key seems to signify another command. Thank you in advance for the help on an odd question.
