I learnt something new today. You can use the DOS ‘ECHO’ command to output a line (or in fact any text you want) by putting a period ‘.’ immediately after the ECHO. i.e. The following will echo a blank line.

C:\> ECHO.

Also, if you want to echo some special characters you can put a carat ‘^’ before them:

C:\> ECHO ^>^>^>

>>>

C:\> ECHO >>>

> was unexpected at this time.
