Ran into a bit of trouble when using "echo|set/p=" to print lines without carriage return and line feed. Namely that I get an unwanted space at the end of the text I create and I haven't found a way to remove it.
Example:
Running echo TEST>>TEST.TXT in batch command line gives a file which contains TEST followed by a carriage return and a line feed.
Running echo|set/p=TEST>>TEST.TXT in batch command line gives a file which contains TEST followed by a single space character, but no carriage return or line feed.
Where does this mysterious space come from and is there any way to remove it?
Instead, you should use
<nul set /p "=Test" >> test.txt
The differences are:
<nul instead of echo | nul simply is an empty redirect, but ECHO with a pipe creates two new cmd.exe instances
