ECHOS and ECHOSERR - Display a message without CR/LF
Purpose: Display a message without a trailing carriage return and line
feed.
Format: ECHOS message
ECHOSERR message
See also: ECHO, SCREEN, SCRPUT, TEXT, and VSCRPUT.
Usage
ECHOS is useful for text output when you don't want to add a carriage
return / linefeed pair at the end of the line. For example, you can use
ECHOS when you need to redirect control sequences to your printer; this
example sends the sequence Esc P to the printer on LPT1:
[c:\] echos ^eP > lpt1:
You cannot use the command separator character [&] or the redirection
symbols [| > <] in an ECHOS message, unless you enclose them in quotes
(see Argument Quoting) or precede them with the escape character.
ECHOS does not translate or modify the message text. For example,
carriage return characters are not translated to CR/LF pairs. ECHOS
sends only the characters you enter (after escape character and back
quote processing). The only character you cannot put into an ECHOS
message is the NUL character (ASCII 0).
ECHOSERR acts like ECHOS but sends its output to the standard error
device (usually the screen) instead of the standard output device. If
the standard output of a batch file is redirected to a file or another
device with >, ECHOSERR will still generate a screen message. See
Redirection and Piping for more information about the standard output and
standard error devices and redirection.
