Windows batch: echo without new line

Question

What is the Windows batch equivalent of the Linux shell command echo -n which suppresses the newline at the end of the output?

The idea is to write on t

Answer 1

You can remove the newline using "tr" from gnuwin32 (coreutils package)

@echo off
set L=First line
echo %L% | tr -d "\r\n"
echo Second line
pause

By the way, if you are doing lots of scripting, gnuwin32 is a goldmine.
