Help with DOS echo command

t1rhino

I am trying to pipe an echo command to a text file, but how do you echo a carriage return?

echo "hello \n world" > test.txt
produces
hello \n world in test.txt.
So how do I echo it so it comes out like
hello
world

???

This sequence will do what you want although not in one line...

echo hello > test.txt
echo. >> test.txt
echo world >> test.txt

Hope this helps.

yeah i don't think dos works with \n, it's not compiled like in C/C++
