Hi list,
Is there any kind of an escape character in batch file "programming" or
anything, like the way there is in things like Javascript where you precede
certain characters with a \ so they're taken the right way? My batch has
this line in it:
If {%FIND_RESULT%}=={%KEY_UPDATE%} ...
The problem is that %FIND_RESULT% looks like this:
C-KEY24=MACRO JHIE
So, the batch interpreter gets confused by the = sign in there when it tries
to compare. At least that's what it seems like it's doing, because I get:
=MACRO was unexpected at this time.
I don't think I'm really looking for an escape character here as much as I'm
looking for a way that I can make it not confused by the = sign.
Thanks a lot
Ray at work
