What does a forward slash before a pipe in cmd do to remove the line ending of an echo?
- by user66001
This code:
@echo off
echo/|set /p ="Executing backup...."
echo/|set /p =" backup procedure"
... came from Echoing in the same line and produces the below output in a cmd window:
Executing backup....backup procedure
However, I cant seem to find an explanation through google on what the forward slash does to the ¿pipe? to cause set's output to be echoed to the console / stdout
If anyone could also suggest a good website for learning more about cmd / cmd programs' features like this, it would be appreciated.
