回显带有前面空格但没有新行的文本

Question

If I use <nul set/p= some text or set/p "= some text"<nul , preceding spaces are removed, even if I use character with 0xFF code. How can I echo specified number of spaces at the beginning of the line w/o trailing CR/LF?

Answer 1

Adding a backspace character works well at the start of the line.

@echo off
:: define BS as a BackSpace character
for /f %%A in ('"prompt $H&for %%B in (1) do rem"') do set "BS=%%A"
set /p "=%bs%     some text"<nul
pause

Answer 2

a) If text is echoed on a new line, then just add backspace char in front of the output text.
<nul set/p=[BS char here directly, without brackets] some text
In ANSI and ASCII codetables it has code 0x08 .
b) If the text needed to be placed as continuation of already existed line, then additionally add one non-space char before BS char, for example "Middle Dot" ( 0xFA ).
<nul set/p=[MD char (0xFA), then BS char (0x08)] some text
Works fine in WinXP and Win7.
