How to Echo text that includes ">>"
In PowerShell, if you want to echo or display text that includes the ">>" characters without interpreting them as redirection operators, you can use the escape character "`" to disable the special meaning of ">>". Here's an example:
powershell$myText = "This is some text with >> in it"
# Use the escape character "`" to disable special meaning of ">>"
Write-Host "My text: `$myText"
In the above example, we assign the text "This is some text with >> in it" to the variable $myText
. To echo or display the text with the ">>" characters, we use the escape character "`" before the "$" sign to prevent PowerShell from interpreting it as a variable. This allows us to display the literal string "$myText" without any variable substitution.
The output of the Write-Host
command will be:
arduinoMy text: $myText
By using the escape character "`", you can include special characters or reserved symbols in strings without PowerShell interpreting them as part of its syntax or operators.
