Solve : extending input over multiple line in batch file?

1.	Solve : extending input over multiple line in batch file?
Answer» I have an INTEL utility that needs its input spread accross several lines DUE to the command LINE LENGTH limit . When the utility sees a "&" character, it KNOWS its input comes on the next line. However, the command line processor sees the next line as separate input and tries to process it as a separate command. I tried a makefile backslash character at the end of the line but that didn't help. Anybody know the trick to extend batch lines?This is confusing. What process is requesting the input? If the command processor is the requestor you can try using the ^ escape character before the & ex. line1 input [highlight]^&[/highlight] line2 input If the utility program is the requestor, the ampersand should work as the command processor never gets involved. 8-)
