In my DOS batch file, I use the “@” symbol to suppress the echo of that statement before execution when echo is ON.
How should I force the echo of a statement when echo is OFF (I’m hoping for another single character, but all answers welcome)?
It seems to me that there is no way to do it. You can wrap commands you need to be echoed between
echo onand@echo offbut this is ugly, I think. Another option is to keepecho onand use@for every command you don’t want to echo and keeping echo-ables without@.
