Adding @echo off at the beginning of the batch file turns off the echo and does not show each of the commands. @echo off echo There will be a blank line below. echo.
batch-file Echo @Echo off @echo off prevents the prompt and contents of the batch file from being displayed, so that only the output is visible. The @ makes the output of the echo off command hidden as well.
Please open a command prompt window, run set /? and read the output help. The syntax is set /P variable=prompt text or better set /P "password=Enter your password: " . And please note that variable password keeps its current value if already defined and user hits just RETURN or ENTER.
Little-known feature: The redirection operator can go anywhere on the line.
>>file.txt echo 2 Use (ECHO 2)>>file.txt. This will output 2 without any spaces.
