In my Linux development environment I have become accustomed to building and deploying my code in one line commands, for example:
mvn clean package && ./deploy.sh localhost
I have written bash aliases that simplify this process, in my environment the above would be aliased as:
mvncp && deploy
I am now working in a Windows development environment, so I run commands in a very similar way:
mvn clean package && deploy.bat localhost
To replace my aliases I have created doskey macros. Executing a macro by itself works just fine, however when I try to execute multiple macros chained together with && all macros after the first fail to be recognized.
mvncp && deploy
<output omitted>

'deploy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Sometimes cmd reports the macro could not be found, other times it silently fails and %errorlevel% returns 0.
Is there any way I can execute multiple doskey macros as a single command in cmd?
The token you seek is $T
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSKEY
$T Command separator. Allows multiple commands in a macro.
