echo
Displays messages or turns on or off the command echoing feature. If used without parameters, echo displays the current echo setting.
Syntax
echo [<message>]
echo [on | off]
Parameters
Parameter
Description
[on | off]
Turns on or off the command echoing feature. Command echoing is on by default.
<message>
Specifies the text to display on the screen.
/?
Displays help at the command prompt.
<message>
Remarks
The echo <message> command is particularly useful when echo is turned off. To display a message that is several lines long without displaying any commands, you can include several echo <message> commands after the echo off command in your batch program.
echo <message>
echo <message>
After echo is turned off, the command prompt doesn't appear in the Command Prompt window. To display the command prompt, type echo on.
If used in a batch file, echo on and echo off don't affect the setting at the command prompt.
To prevent echoing a particular command in a batch file, insert an @ sign in front of the command. To prevent echoing all commands in a batch file, include the echo off command at the beginning of the file.
@
To display an exclamation mark (!) in batch scripts, wrap the word or phrase in double quotes followed by a caret before the exclamation mark ("Hello World^!"). Alternatively, a double caret (^^) can be used without the need for double quotes (Hello World^^!).
!
"Hello World^!"
^^
Hello World^^!
To display a pipe (|), ampersand (&) or redirection character (< or >) when you are using echo, use a caret (^) immediately before that character. For example, ^|, ^&, ^>, or ^<. To display a caret, type two carets in succession (^^).
