Solve : Batch File Error.?

1.	Solve : Batch File Error.?
Answer» I am having some trouble making a batch file that writes the "&" character onto a vbs file. Normally i WOULD do something like: echo off echo HELLO, how OLD are you? set /p age= echo What is your name? set /p name= echo You are %AGE% & your name is %name% > file.txt exit That is just an example but I want to know if either you can make cmd ignore the "&" so it doesn't try to run "your" as a COMMAND, or if there is a REPLACEMENT for "&" in VBscript. To write certain special characters from a batch we have to prefix them with an escape character. For the ampersand (&) this is a caret (^) thus you would need to put this in your batch file echo You are %AGE% ^& your name is %name% > file.txt Table of special characters and how to escape them http://www.robvanderwoude.com/escapechars.php Thanks, it worked!
