hi,

is there a continuation character in CMD which would allow me to break a
command in multiple line for readability ?

TIA,
Pierre.

Usually, yes. Unfortunately, it is not quite that simple. A couple of
true-life script extracts:

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%r in ('
type stderr.tmp') do echo @set var_=%%r>tmp$$$.cmd

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%r in ('type %1') do (
set return_=%%r)

All the best, Timo
