How to increase input line length (max) in windows?

Question

in my one batch file I set a variable, after running this batch file it shows the error "The input line is too long". how to overcome this problem. or can you increase the length of the input string (max) in windows?

Answer 1

According to my comment, to delimit a line in a batch file, add a character ^to the line. For example:

somelong command ^
carries on here ^
and finally ends here

This will behave like 1 line.

However, if this overcomes the input length limit.
