Hi

I've got a question, how do I place text (with ECHO) in a batchfile on the end of the previous line of text?

The batchfile in question does this:

ECHO text...
start /wait setup.exe
ECHO Done!

What I would like, is that "Done!" appears next to "text... " after the installer has completed, instead of beneath it on the next line.

After letting Google do it's thing, I ran into this: http://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/O...aul-Tomasi.html , but I have no idea how to implement that into my batchfile...

Anyone would like to point me in the right direction?

With regards,

Bart Grefte

Based on your example, and the solution you had already found,
try this:

 
@echo off
set /p var=text...<nul
start /wait setup.exe
ECHO Done!

Yes, thanks!

That seems to work
