title: How to split double quoted line into multiple lines in Windows batch file?
body: <p>Long commands in Windows batch files can be split to multiple lines by using the <code>^</code> as mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69068/">Long commands split over multiple lines in Windows Vista batch (.bat) file</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However, if the caret is inside a double quoted string, it won't work. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "A very long line I want to ^
  split into two lines"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This will print <code>"A very long line I want to ^</code> and tell me <code>split</code> is an unknown command.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get around this?</p>
