1.	Solve : displaying "%"?
Answer» For a strange reason Dos won't DISPLAY "%" in winXP Code: [Select]echo progress ... 5% how does this come and how can it be solved. thanksCode: [Select]C:\>ver Microsoft Windows XP [VERSION 5.1.2600] C:\>echo Progress .. 5% Progress .. 5%No problem here, is there anything else you missed? if you TYP in "echo progress ... 5%" dos will only show "progress ... 5" without "%" I"m not sure what you mean with your code.The code section is what I see when I tried the same thing.When in a batch file, you need to double the % as % is the "escape character". So use: Code: [Select]echo progress ... 5%%
