BATCH: Like an echo line containing '&' char to a file

Question

I am trying to write a URL string to the file containing the '&' char in it (using a simple "echo"), the problem is that it saved the char on the command line so that it does not work.

Is there a way to tell the command line that it is part of a line.

Example:

echo www.google.com/search=make&peace > love.txt 

I will get an error indicating that the “world” is not a recognized team.

Thanks!

Answer 1

cmd uses ^ as an escape character, so

 echo www.google.com/search=make^&peace > love.txt 

Answer 2

Just provide the URL in quotes:

 echo "www.google.com/search=make&peace" > love.txt
