Another simple (?) question in batch files

[robo555]

I did some ASCII art and made a picture with a bunch of these characters: ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ, in DOS, they come out as solid blocks.

I echoed them so they create a big pic that says ROBO, and it looks pretty good in Notepad, but when I open the bat file in DOS, everyline has a gap between it, so instead of looking something like:

ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

I get something like:

ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

Yesterday I couldn't figue out how to put gaps in my echos, now it forces me to put those gaps in there! How do I stop it from doing so? My pic looks really ugly with those gaps.

Looks like a wrap problem. Try in full screen dos---count charactors and adjust dos window size.

Would need a simplified example of the batch file that shows the problem for clarification.

i did the same thing. use a different character. i used
"Û"without the quotes. no spaces for me
