How can I embed a CR + LF in a command I’m using at the Windows command prompt without actually issuing the command?
Example:
C:\Windows\system32>myprog -u user -p pass -text "Sincerely,\nRob"
Is it up to myprog to do handle the line break? I figured there must be some way to represent a line break that the Windows command line would recognize.
From what i can understand, it is upon your program to decipher the input that it receives (i.e., how to treat the data from the stream). Usually a carriage return/line feed is taken as separators.
