Windows - Batch file multiline command with double quotes

In Windows batch scripting, if you need to have a multiline command within a batch file and include double quotes, you can use the caret (^) as the line continuation character. Here's an example:

@echo off set "multiline_command=^ echo Line 1^ echo Line 2 with "double quotes"^ echo Line 3" %multiline_command%

In this example, the set command is used to create a multiline variable called multiline_command. The caret (^) at the end of each line indicates that the command continues on the next line. The multiline command is then executed using %multiline_command%.

Adjust the content of the multiline_command variable according to your specific requirements. The use of double quotes within the multiline command is demonstrated in the example.
