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

Inspired by the answers to this question, I made a simple counter batch script that keeps printing the progress value (0-100%) on the same line (overwritting the previous one). Maybe this will also be valuable to others looking for a similar solution.

Remark: The * are non-printable characters, these should be entered using [Alt + Numpad 0 + Numpad 8] key combination, which is the backspace character.

@ECHO OFF

FOR /L %%A in (0, 10, 100) DO (     
    ECHO|SET /P="****%%A%%"    
    CALL:Wait 1
)

GOTO:EOF

:Wait
SET /A "delay=%~1+1"
CALL PING 127.0.0.1 -n %delay% > NUL
GOTO:EOF
