It allows a whole line to be specified and can be partially or completely variable content. However there are a few key considerations when using echo. This form of echo also works without leading spaces, so it can be used generally; mixing forms is not required.
The catch with redirecting after echo and not leaving a space is that if the last character is a number and second last is a space cmd. The easiest and most reliable method to avoid both trailing spaces and accidental redirection is to redirect before echo. The final catch that echo has for us is dealing with characters that have special meaning to the command processor.
The main problem is that most of the escaping is conditional. To start out I will quickly go over the variable types. There are four variable types in batch script, two are treated as plain text, and thus not already escaped, the other two are already escaped. When used with echo the escaped variables can hold any characters except possibly the exclamation mark! The exclamation mark!
It is also worth noting that exclamation marks will either disappear or expand as variables inside of Parameters, Standard Environment Variables and For Variables, unless the variable has the right number of carets already in it four or more depending on the circumstance.
Specifically for cmd. Examples: rem output the dir command to file, overwrite the file if it already exists. Redirecting the Error Stream Thus far we have only been redirecting the standard output of commands, but some commands will output errors in a different way. Examples: rem only errors into "somefile. Of course this can still result in trailing spaces, but only if the text you output has them.
Character Escapement The final catch that echo has for us is dealing with characters that have special meaning to the command processor. For each file whose path isn't specified, the script will look in its working directory. Using findstr also allows you to put the filenames into the. How are we doing?

Active 4 years, 6 months ago. Viewed 3k times. Improve this question. Possible duplicate of Batch: Copy files from txt file into one folder — user Some sort of idea of the content and layout of the text file would be appreciated.
You can add it to your original post by using the edit facility. I added some additional information. Does the text file only contain those numbers?
What do they represent? A file in a folder or the entire folder? Do you want all files in moved? And when you say "16XXXX", does that represent wildcards every folder that starts with "16" or a specific folder? The text file only contains one number in it right now and it represents a pdf file that is located in a folder that is named 15XXXX. After I get one file to move I will add additional numbers to the text file. For example, I may add number to the text file and would need the batch to move that pdf to the folder named 16XXXX.
